Mr. Rajesh Joshi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vinay Kumar, Standing Counsel for the State / respondent no.1. Mr. A.S. Bisht, Standing Counsel (Central Government) for respondent no.2. Date of Judgment: 15.12.2011 JUDGMENT Coram: Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble U.C. Dhyani, J. BARIN GHOSH, C.J. (ORAL) The writ petition is utterly frivolous since it seeks a direction of the court to include Ramdasi or Ramdasia caste in the list of Scheduled Castes. When it was pointed out that, in terms of Article 341 of the Constitution of India, the President of India having had already specified the castes, races and tribes or parts of or a group within the caste, race or tribe as scheduled caste for the purpose of the Constitution, the same can only be altered or enlarged by the Parliament, a submission was made that the matter may be referred by the court to the Commission without taking note of the fact that no Commission has been appointed in relation to Scheduled Castes, but the Commission which has been appointed in terms of Article 340 of the Constitution is for Other Backward Classes. We, accordingly, dismiss the writ petition. (U.C. Dhyani, J.) (Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 15.12.2011 15.12.2011 Sanjay
