G.Ramakrishnan vs The Zonal Manager on 7 April, 2003
13. Be that as it may, I find reasons in the submissions of both the
learned counsel for the respondents that the petitioner is not at all
aggrieved by the impugned proceedings of the fourth respondent dated
17.8.1999, more particularly in the light of the decision of the Apex Court in
THE STATE OF TAMIL NADU Vs. A.GURUSAMY, referred supra, held against his
father. Hence, I do not see any reason or justification to quash the impugned
proceedings dated 17.8.1999, except to permit the petitioner to appear on the
immediate next date of hearing, which shall be intimated to the petitioner by
the fourth respondent, with all relevant records and documentary evidence, if
he is so advised, based on which, the fourth respondent shall arrive at a
preliminary finding. If the petitioner fails to produce satisfactory evidence
that he belongs to Kattunayakan community, the matter shall be forwarded to
the District Level Caste Scrutiny Committee, which shall hold an enquiry
giving a fair and reasonable opportunity to the petitioner, and pass
appropriate orders, on merits, within ninety days from the date of receipt of
the preliminary report of the fourth respondent. A copy of the preliminary
report of the fourth respondent shall also be furnished to the petitioner.
