PLEADER SHRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.20574 of 2008 ================== Dated this the 9th day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner applied to the respondent for issue of a community certificate. Although his claim was for a community certificate showing his community as “Christian Parava” which is a Scheduled Caste, the petitioner would be satisfied with a community certificate showing his actual community as per the opinion of the respondent. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. Whether the petitioner's community is “Christian Parava” or any other community, the petitioner has certainly got a right to get a community certificate from the respondent showing his community whichever it is. In the above circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to issue a community certificate to the petitioner showing his actual community, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
