Patel vs Director on 19 February, 2010
Thereafter
the observations made by this Court in the case of Shirin
S. Qureshi v. National Institute of Fashion Technology (supra)
were extracted
and after taking into consideration another decision of the Apex
Court in case of R.
Vishwanatha Pillai v. State of Kerala and Ors. , reported in
2004(2) SCC, 105
and more particularly the observations made at paragraph 28, it was
found by this Court that the result of the petitioner can be allowed
to be declared with the clarification that the petitioner shall not
be treated as OBC Category in future, either for obtaining service
or for any other benefits flowing from the caste certificate
obtained by him, since his caste certificate has been ordered to be
cancelled and the petitioner shall be treated as belonging to
general category for all purpose. But in that case also, the Court
did impose penalty upon the petitioner therein of Rs.20,000/- and
the condition was also provided for not to use the certificate in
future, leaving the liberty to the petitioner to approach before the
Civil Court for appropriate declaration.
