CWP No.16603 of 2010.doc - 1 – HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH **** CWP No.16603 of 2010 Date of Decision: 15.09.2010 **** All India Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes Railway Employees’ Association . . . . Petitioner VS. State of Punjab and others . . . . . Respondents **** CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. Karamjit Verma, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. H.S. Brar, Addl. AG Punjab ***** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioner-Association seeks a direction to the official respondents to hold an enquiry into the genuineness of the Scheduled Caste Certificate issued to respondent No.6 and “provide adequate security to the Office-bearers of the petitioner-Association”. (2). Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and on perusal of the documents on record, it appears, prima facie, that the writ petition has been filed with an ulterior motive and lacks bona fide. Respondent No.6 has been granted the “Scheduled Caste certificate” as CWP No.16603 of 2010.doc - 2 – he has been found belonging to Ramdasia Caste. The petitioner-Association, on the other hand, claims that respondent No.6 belongs to ‘Gaddaria’ caste which is not a notified ‘Scheduled Caste’, in my considered view such like disputed question of facts cannot be gone into by a writ court. (3). The writ petition is accordingly dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to seek redressal of its grievance before an appropriate forum, as may be available in law. (4). Dasti .
