THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR W.P.No.28271 of 2010 ORDER (Per Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed, J) This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of certiorari to call for the records relating to the order, dated 10.06.2010, passed in O.A.No.11154 of 2009 by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (for short ‘the Tribunal’) and to quash the same. 2. In pursuance of DSC-2008 notification, the petitioner, who belongs to BC-C Community, applied for the post of P.E.T., participated in the selection process, secured 48.50 marks and he was assigned rank No.136 in the District. He states that though the unofficial respondent obtained 49.50 marks and placed at rank No.110, he is not entitled for appointment to the said post, as he does not belongs to B.C-C Community as per the voters’ list, but the official respondents selected him for the said post. The petitioner being the next candidate to the unofficial respondent is entitled to the said post. Hence, he filed the above said O.A. before the Tribunal, which in turn dismissed the same. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. 3. The respondents filed counters before the Tribunal stating that the unofficial respondent secured 49.50 marks and placed at rank No.110 and that based on the Caste Certificate under BC-C Community issued by the Tahasildar, Guntakal Mandal, Anatapur, they selected him for the post of P.E.T under BC-C(General) Community. 4. Since the unofficial respondent secured 49.50 marks, he was placed at Rank No.110 and based on the Caste Certificate issued by the competent authority, the official respondents have selected him under BC-C(General) Community for the post of PET. As such, the contention of the petitioner that the unofficial respondent does not belong to B.C-C community as per the Voters’ list cannot be accepted, because the Voter’s list cannot be taken as a basis to confirm the caste, as rightly observed by the Tribunal. Therefore, we are of the view that there is no illegality or irregularity on the part of the respondents in appointing the unofficial respondent for the post of P.E.T., and the Tribunal has rightly dismissed the O.A. by the order impugned, which does not warrant interference by this Court. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, as it is represented by the learned counsel for both sides that the complaint against the caste status can be made before the District Collector under the Andhra Pradesh (Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes) Regulation of Issuance of Community Certificates Act, 1993, it is open to the petitioner to make a representation before the District Collector concerned under the said Act. No order as to costs. ______________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _______________ K.G.SHANKAR, J Date:07.02.2011 sj
