The petitioner has challenged the decision of the Respondent college in cancelling his admission on the ground that he has failed to submit caste validity certificate. The petitioner claimed that he belongs to caste Sonar which is included in Other Backward Class and on the basis of which he sought admission to B.E. Engineering course in the respondent college. As the petitioner was found to be a migrant from Andhra Pradesh, the caste scrutiny committee has refused to issue the validity certificate in his favour. The learned Government Pleader has placed on record the findings of the caste scrutiny committee which is borne out from the record that the petitioner is a migrant.
