41. (v) Though W.A.No.1260 of 2012 was filed against the judgment of
Hon'ble Mr.Justice Vinod K.Sharma in Raja Mohammed's case, the writ appeal was
dismissed without going into the merits since the order of the learned Single
Judge was complied with. In these circumstances, the writ appeal was dismissed
observing that the order of the Division Bench shall not be treated as a
precedent.
42.(i) In D.Rahamatulla's case reported in 2012 (1) CWC 817, the
petitioner therein was born in Christian Parayan community which was included in
the list of Backward Class. The caste tag, namely, Parayan community continued
after conversion to Christianity. Parayan community is a Scheduled Caste
community. Scheduled Caste Christians belong to backard class and there is no
dispute over the same. The petitioner therein converted to Labbai sect in Islam
and claimed to be a member of the Backward Class community. But the same was
denied to him by the TNPSC as in Raja Mohammed's case, referred to above. He
approached this Court by filing W.P.(MD)No.3177 of 2011. Following the judgment
of Hon'ble Mr.Justice Vinod K.Sharma, the writ petition was allowed by Hon'ble
Mr.Justice K.Ravichandra Baabu.
