THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 10832 of 2007 DATED: 25.06.2007 Between: G.Jayamala .. Petitioner. And The Convener, L.P.CET-2006 (Language Pandit Common Entrance Test), Hyderabad, and another. .. Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10832 of 2007 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner questioned the rejection of her claim for admission into Hindi Pandit Training Course, vide letter, dated 17.05.2007, issued by the second respondent. The case of the petitioner is that she appeared for the Common Entrance Test seeking entry into Hindi Pandit Training Course and she claims her admission in the quota reserved for ST, based on the certificate obtained by her from the Thasildar, Chandrapur Mandal, Maharashtra State. Even according to the petitioner, she does not possess any certificate from the State of Andhra Pradesh certifying her caste as a Scheduled Tribe. Unless the petitioner is certified by a competent authority under the provisions of A.P. (Schedule Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes) Regulation of issuance of Community Certificates Act, 1993 (for short ‘the Act’) that she belongs to a Scheduled Tribe, she is not entitled to seek any reservation. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the claim of the petitioner was not even considered in general category, though she secured the rank of 4653 in the Common Entrance Test. The learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents submits that in the general category, the rank of the last candidate admitted into Hindi Pandit Tranining Course was 2432 only. As such, it is clear that the petitioner could not come up for selection even in the general category in view of the rank obtained by her. So far as the petitioner’s claim with regard to her admission in the quota reserved for Scheduled Tribe is concerned, rightly she was not considered, as she did not produce any certificate as required under the provisions of the Act. Subject to the above observations, I do not find any merit in the writ petition and the same is devoid of merits. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY,J) Dt.25.06.2007 v v
