Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 17643 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 24th day of June, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner claims to belong to the community SICU Nadar, which is recognized as a socially and economically backward community for the purpose of reservation in admission to professional courses in Kerala. In the application submitted by the petitioner, pursuant to the prospectus issued by the 2nd respondent, the petitioner showed his community as Nadar only. He did not also produce any community certificate in proof of his community to claim reservation. Therefore, his claim for reservation as SEBC for admission has not been considered. It is under the above circumstances, the petitioner has approached this Court seeking the following reliefs: “a. Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the 2nd respondent to give the benefit of mandatory reservation extended to SIUC Nadar Community coming under the socially and economically backward class as per clause 4.1.5 and Annexure-XI of Ext. P1, to the petitioner for securing admission to the MBBS course in the selection process conducted on the basis of Ext. P1. b. Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the 2nd respondent to include the petitioner in the list of socially and economically backward community being a SIUC Nadar and allot him a seat to the MBBS course pursuant to Ext. P1 selection, if otherwise eligible. c. Call for the records leading to the passing of Ext. P1 and quash Note (1) to Clause 5 therein by issuing a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ, direction or order.” 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that the petitioner has not even produced any community certificate in support of his claim. He points out that the prospectus is very clear to the effect that the same shall be filled up carefully and only if appropriate certificates are produced along with the application form, the claim W.P.C. No. 17643/2010 -: 2 :- for reservation would be considered. He points out that the petitioner has never claimed in his application reservation as a SIUC Nadar and he cannot now supplement the application by fresh documents in view of the specific clauses in the prospectus. 3. I have considered the rival contentions in detail. 4. Admittedly, the petitioner has shown his community as Nadar in his application form. The petitioner has not produced along with the application, a community certificate for claiming reservation as a SIUC Nadar. As such, the petitioner is not entitled to reservation as a SIUC Nadar, even if he belongs to that community. Therefore, there is no merit in the writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed.
