RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.5510/2010-K ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 19th day of February, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims that she belongs to Latin Catholic Nadar Christian. Aggrieved by Ext.P7, this writ petition is filed. By Ext.P7, the Tahsildar has declined to grant a non-creamy layer certificate treating her as Latin Catholic. There is a finding that the petitioner is a Pentecostal believer which is a sect entirely different from Latin Catholic in all respects. Ext.P4 order is dated 17/03/2007. Petitioner requires a proper certificate now. If the petitioner approaches any other higher authorities in the matter, by way of an appeal, the same will be considered on merits even though nearly three years have gone since Ext.P4 has been passed. With liberty to approach any of the higher authorities, the writ petition is closed. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
