THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.17337 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare, appearing for respondents 1 to 3. The petitioner states that he made an application before the 1st respondent alleging that the 4th respondent does not belong to the Scheduled Tribe community as claimed by her and, therefore, community certificate issued by the Mandal Revenue Officer, certifying her social status as Scheduled Tribe, is liable to be cancelled, and requesting to make necessary enquiry. The only grievance of the petitioner is that the 1st respondent failed to consider the same, and in the meanwhile, the 4th respondent contested in the elections to the post of Sarpanch of Nellipudi Gram Panchayat and she was declared elected. It is always open to the petitioner to challenge the election of the 4th respondent following due process of law if he is aggrieved. In so far as the application made by him on 15.7.2006 is concerned, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to take necessary steps following the procedure prescribed under the Andhra Pradesh (SC, ST & BCs) Regulation of Issue of Community Certificates Act, 1993 and the Rules made thereunder, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ______________ (G. ROHINI, J.) 23rd August, 2006. Issue CC in three days. Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.17337 OF 2006 23rd August, 2006.
