HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2915 of 2011 Date : 14.02.2011 Between : Boya Kullayapa. …..Petitioner And The District Collector, Anantapur District & another. .....Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2915 of 2011 ORDER : In this writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is about non-disposal of his representation filed before the 1st respondent on 26th of November 2010. There is a complaint against the petitioner by one R.P.Marenna, alleging that the petitioner has violated the provisions under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. On such complaint, a case is registered and it is stated that the matter is under trial. When the matter is pending, the petitioner has filed a representation before the 1st respondent-District Collector, Anantapur, against the said R.P.Marenna, stating that he does not belong to Scheduled Caste community, but obtained the caste certificate of ‘Budaga Jangama’ by false representation, and as such, the said certificate is liable to be cancelled. A copy of the said representation is placed on record. Whether the caste certificate issued to Sri R.P.Marenna is a correct one or obtained fraudulently, is a matter for inquiry by the 1st respondent-District Collector. Under the scheme of the Andhra Pradesh (SC, ST & BCs) Regulation of Issue of Community Certificates Act, 1993, the 1st respondent is the authority to act either suo-motu or on a written complaint, and examine the correctness or otherwise of the certificates issued under the said Act, and to order for cancellation. In this case, as the representation filed by the petitioner was received in the office of the 1st respondent-District Collector on 26th of November 2010, and as the grievance of the petitioner is only with regard to its non-disposal, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the 1st respondent to consider the said representation and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible. It is open to the 1st respondent-District Collector to issue notice to all the concerned, before passing appropriate orders. The petitioner shall present a copy of this order by enclosing a copy of his earlier representation, before the 1st respondent within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 14th February 2011 ajr
