THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17067 of 2009 DATED: 24.08.2009 Between: S.Amaresh. .. Petitioner. And The Government of A.P., rep. by its Director, Tribal Welfare Department, D.S.S.Bhavan, Hyderabad, and others. .. Respondents. ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents and the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission itself. The petitioner, after completing IV Class, has appeared for Entrance Examination conducted by the Social Welfare Department for the year 2009-10 for admission into V Class in the Best Available Schools (BAS) in the District and, in the said examination, he claimed his admission as a candidate belonged to Scheduled Tribe. The petitioner was intimated with regard to his selection to V Class by the District Tribal Welfare Officer, Anantapur. The petitioner asserts that, as per the procedure for getting admission in the aforesaid schools, he is required to submit his Caste Certificate to be issued by the 4th respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of his submitting the representation to the 4th respondent seeking issuance of his Caste Certificate as belongs to Scheduled Tribe, so far the 4th respondent has not considered his representation. Under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh (Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes) Regulation of Issuance of Community Certificates Act, 1993, the 4th respondent is the authority competent to examine the claim and to make certification with regard to the caste status. In the circumstances of the case, since it is stated that the representation of the petitioner is not yet disposed of, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the 4th respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders as per the provisions of the A.P.(Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes) Regulation of Issuance of Community Certificates Act, 1993, within a period of two weeks from today. However, the respondents are directed not to cancel the admission of the petitioner into V Class for a period of four weeks. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. __________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY,J 24.08.2009 Note:- Issue CC by tomorrow B/o v v
