(SC, ST & BC) Regulation of Issue of Community Certificates Act, 1993 and the Rules made thereunder and consequently direct the respondents 1 and 2 to enquire into the matter and take steps for cancellation of caste / reservation certificates issued in favour of respondents 4 to 7 and to pass such other order or orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances. Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.SREENIVASA RAO VELIVELA Counsel for Respondent Nos. 1 to 3: G.P. for Revenue and GP FOR SOCIAL WELFARE Counsel for Respondent Nos. 4 to 7: Mr.S.Ramachandra Rao for Mr.K.R.Prabhakar. The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORAL ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, the Hon’ble the Acting Chief Justice) Heard learned counsel for the parties. The grievance of the petitioner is that he has made a representation to the Collector on 7.3.2005 stating that Respondent No.4 has obtained a fraudulent caste certificate. He seeks direction to the Collector to dispose of the matter and seeks direction that the certificate issued in favour of Respondents 4 to 7 be cancelled. Since the representation has been made by the petitioner to the Collector on 7.3.2005, which has been received on 10.3.2005 and the writ petition is filed on 21.3.2005, it is too early to expect that the Collector could have decided the matter. Therefore, we dispose of this Writ Petition with direction to the Collector to dispose of the representation after hearing all concerned parties and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. __________________ BILAL NAZKI, ACJ 5.4.2005 ______________________ Dr. G.YETHIRAJULU, J. VR. To 1. The District Collector, Krishna Chilakalapudi, Machilipatnam. 2.
