That you joined the service of the bank on January 27, 1984 stating that you belong to ST category and in support of your above claim you submitted a caste certificate, dated November 10, 1983, issued by the Tahsildar, Puttur. Following circumstances appear on record in respect of your appointment in the bank:
That on the basis of your application for a clerical post submitted in response to the advertisement bearing No. 2/1983 of the BSRB, Southern Region, Bangalore, declaring yourself as a ST candidate, you were called upon to appear for a recruitment test. You appeared for the recruitment test on August 14, 1983 which was followed by a viva voce test on November 29, 1983 and thereafter you were selected for an appointment on December 12, 1983 by the authorities of the BSRB Bangalore under ST category.
"all information furnished by the CSE to the bank are supposed to be correct, true and with her full knowledge. In the instant case, CSE completed SSLC during 1978, PUC during 1980 and discontinued II year B.Com. during 1982. She was 20 years old and married while joining the bank. She must be well aware of her caste status. She herself admitted that she was not a ST before her marriage. Then all of a sudden how can she claim ST status marrying a man from ST category. She has nowhere pleaded that she was unaware of the Government rules that no person who is not ST by birth will be deemed to be a member of ST by virtue of marriage to a person belonging to ST. If it is true that she and her husband were aware of the SC judgment reported in A.I.R. 1972 even before her joining the bank and that was the basis for declaring herself as ST, naturally she must have been aware of the Government rules also. What made them to trace out the above judgment. No individual in normal course will go in searching for the above judgment. Only on coming to know that she was not eligible for job as per Government guidelines, she had gone for the above judgment to somehow make up her claim. I am, therefore, of the view that the CSE was aware of Government guidelines and in spite of that she furnished wrong information to BSRB/bank."
