Akilendia Nadar Association vs Union Of India on 23 August, 2023

4. I do not want to make any observation about the merit of the case. The petitioner submitted that they submitted a representation before the 2nd respondent and that may be directed to be considered within a time frame, with notice to a representative of the petitioner. I think that prayer can be allowed. The counsel for the petitioner also submitted that the decision of this Court in Hindu Nadar Corporation v. State of Kerala [2000 (3) KLT 740] is applicable to the facts and circumstances of this case also.

Akhilendia Nadar Association (Ana) vs State Of Kerala

2. The case of the petitioner is that, the petitioner Association represents the 'Hindu Nadar' Community which is stated as a backward community. The said community was being treated as a separate class of its own and members are enjoying the benefit of reservation, as envisaged under the Constitution of India. Earlier, when there was an attempt to club the 'Hindu Nadar' community along with 'SIUC Nadars' and other 'Christian Nadars', the said attempt was sought to be challenged by the petitioner Association, who earlier was known by different name, by filing O.P No.7870/1988. The case projected from the part of the petitioner was considered meticulously and it was held by a Division Bench of this Court, as per decision in Hindu Nadar Corporation v. State of Kerala (2000(3) KLT 740), that 'Hindu Nadar' community had to be treated as a separate class of its own with rights or reservation. The matter was taken up as before the Apex Court CA No.3361/2002 by the President of other community, ie., SIUC Nadar community, which was supported by the Government.
