THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.12747 OF 2002 DATED 25TH JANUARY, 2011 BETWEEN: Pujari Swaroopsagar … Petitioner A n d The Mandal Revenue Officer, Ananthapur, Ananthapur District, and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.12747 OF 2002 O R D E R The grievance of the petitioner in this case was with regard to the inaction on the part of the authorities in issuing him an integrated community certificate certifying that he belongs to Bariki Caste, a Scheduled Caste, so as to enable him to prosecute studies. The petitioner was issued a caste certificate dated 04.05.1997 by the competent authority certifying his caste as Bariki Caste, a Scheduled Caste. However, upon his qualifying in EAMCET-2002 for admission to B.Tech Course, the petitioner was called upon to submit an integrated community certificate. Failure on the part of the authorities in issuing him the said certificate, constrained him to approach this Court. By interim order dated 25.07.2002, this Court directed the Convenor, Eamcet-2002, the fourth respondent, to consider his case for admission into B.Tech. without insisting on the integrated community certificate subject to production of the original caste certificate dated 04.05.1997. Sri K.Maheswar Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner, states that pursuant to the above order, his client was admitted to B.Tech Course and has also completed the course. The learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare submitted that there was no doubt as to the genuineness of the caste certificate issued to the petitioner certifying that he belongs to a Scheduled Caste. It is not in dispute that the petitioner’s forefathers hailed from Kurnool District, where Bariki Caste people are found. Shifting of his family to Anantapur District would not divest him of his rightful claim to the said status. In any event, as the petitioner has already prosecuted his studies pursuant to the interim order of this Court on the basis of his caste certificate dated 04.05.1997, no further orders are required in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed.
