1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.1693/2010 Sohan Singh Beldar Vs. State of Rajasthan and Ors. DATE OF ORDER : 22.7.2010 HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. D.K. Parihar, for the petitioner. Mr. G.R. Punia, Addl. Advocate General. Mr. Mahendra Choudhary This petition for writ is preferred seeking a direction to include the caste of Beldar in the list of Scheduled Castes. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the caste aforesaid is included in the category of Scheduled Castes in the States like Madhya Pradesh, Maharastra, Gujarat, Orissa, Punjab, Tamilnadu, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal etc. The issue whether a caste is required to be included in Scheduled Caste depends on various factors and for that comprehensive enquiry is required to be made, such question cannot be decided by this Court while exercising powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 2 Looking to this position, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. Accordingly, the petition for writ is dismissed. It shall be open for the petitioner to approach the competent authorities of the respondents for getting the relief claimed. It is expected from the respondents that if the petitioner approaches them, then adequate steps shall be taken expeditiously. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. RM/
