10. Reliance on the Government Order No.SWD 713 SAD 93 dated 11.03.2002 by the learned counsel for the petitioner, in my view, is wholly misplaced. I have gone through the said order as well as the proceedings of the Government of Karnataka dated 11.3.2002 which reads as under:-

BENGALURU, DATED:11TH MARCH 2002 In partial modification of Government Orders read at (1) and (2) Government are pleased to order as under:
1. The benefits of reservation in admission to educational institutions and educational concessions extended to Pariwara, Talwara, Mallcru, Kuruba communities in G.Os read at (1) and (2) above and Besta and Koli Communities accordingly cease. All persons of these communities who have obtained ST caste certificates shall surrender them immediately to the issuing authority for cancellation. They shall not be liable for penal action provided they surrender their certificates. The issuing authority shall cancel such certificates.

4. The appointments already made in respect of the persons belonging to Pariwara, Talwar, Maalcru, Kuruba, Besta and Koli communities who have obtained employment under ST quota ( as Nayaka, Maalcru, Kadu Kuruba, Jenu Kuruba, Gond, Rajgond, Kolidhor and Tokrikoli) shall be treated as appointments under GM category w.e.f. the date of this order. They shall not be eligible for any promotion or any other benefits as STs in future. However, they could claim benefits under the respective category as Backward Classes to which they belong as per the existing Government Order.

Separate orders shall be issued regarding the manner in which the vacancies lost to STs on account of G.Os read as (1) and (2) above have to be restored.

A reading of the above order on the face of its discloses that it relates to the benefits of reservation in admission to educational institutions and educational concessions extended to Pariwara, Talwara, Maalcru, Kuruba Community. Clause 4 of the aforesaid order provides that the appointments already made in respect of the persons belonging to Pariwara, Talwar, Maalcru, Kuruba, Besta and Koli communities who have obtained employment under ST quota as Nayaka, Maalcru, Kadu Kuruba, Jenu Kuruba, Gond, Rajgond, Kolidhor and Tokrikoli shall be treated as appointments under 'General Merit' category with effect from the date of the said order. In the instant case, undisputedly, the petitioner belongs to Dasayya community and he obtained caste certificate as belonging to 'Chennadasar' community. The aforesaid order does not extend the exemption to the persons belonging to Dasayya community who have secured employment under SC/ST quota. Therefore, on factual matrix, the petitioner cannot claim to defend the benefits secured by him on the strength of the aforesaid notification. Consequently the contention urged by the petitioner based on the aforesaid Government Order is liable to be rejected.
