THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25884 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is working as a Constable in C.R.P.F. His appointment was against a post reserved in favour of S.T. candidates. He was issued a charge memo, dated 22.03.2011 alleging that the caste certificate submitted by him is not genuine. The petitioner challenges the proceedings initiated by the respondents. It is stated that it is only when the competent authority under the A.P.(SC, ST and BC) Regulation of issue of Community Certificates Act (for short ‘the Act’) passes an order in accordance with law, canceling the caste certificate, that such a step can be initiated. The petitioner also states that Section 21 of the Act mandates that till a certificate is cancelled, it would be deemed to be valid and genuine and the impugned memo is opposed to law. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner challenges the very initiation of the disciplinary proceedings. He does not dispute the jurisdiction of the authority, who issued the memo. Even if a second view is possible or the allegation made against the petitioner is untenable, he can bring the same to the notice of the respondents by submitting a detailed explanation. It is only when an order adverse to the interests of the petitioner is passed by the competent authority, that he can be said to have suffered detriment. The writ petition is not maintainable against a show cause notice. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 15.09.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25884 of 2011 Date: 15.09.2011 JSU
