Pur suant to the said order, the petitioner had already participated in the selectio n. While the learned counsel for the petitioner upon reference to the OBC certif icate annexed to the writ petition as Annexures-C and D, submits that the petiti oner belongs to OBC Ahir (Yadav) community, Mr. Borah, learned CGC submits that the petitioner having not mentioned the caste in the Annexure-C certificate, the authority rightly rejected the candidature of the petitioner. Referring to the said certificate, he submits that in the said certificate there is no mention of the caste of the petitioner. On the other hand, learned counsel for the petitio ner submits that because of any printing mistake which might have occurred in th e Annexure-C certificate, the petitioner cannot be deprived of consideration of his case, more particularly when the Annexure -D certificate supports the OBC st atus of the petitioner.
