She was married to one Krishnan, who also belongs to the same community. The daughter Athira.N.R. requires the certificate for production for education purpose. It is submitted that going by the enquiries made by the authorities also it can be seen that she belongs to Scheduled Tribe community. This writ petition is filed stating that respondents required the presence of the father of the petitioner's daughter for issuing community certificate, which is unnecessary. It is submitted that he may not co-operate as the parties are estranged as of now. 2. The learned Special Government Pleader on instructions had submitted that the petitioner had only made enquiries and has not filed the application for getting community certificate. Today when the matter came up for further hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that already an application has been filed before the WPC.No.11175/2010 : 2 : second respondent, Village Officer and a direction may be issued to the respondents 1 and 2 to issue the certificate within a time frame. It is submitted by the learned Special Government Pleader that steps will be taken in the matter without delay. Accordingly there will be a direction to the respondents 1 and 2 to process the application and issue the required certificate within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) skj
