Kumari Madhuri Patil vs Addl. Commissioner on 2 September, 1994
In the said decision of the Supreme Court, it is clearly stated that in
case of migration also, the Vigilance Officer should personally verify and collect
all the facts of the social status claimed by the candidate or the parent or
guardian, as the case may be. In the above judgment, the Supreme Court has
not stated that such enquiry should be conducted only by the officer from the
place of origin. However, in the case on hand, the learned Special Government
Pleader appearing for the respondents contended that as per the said
G.O.(Ms).No.61, the petitioner has to approach the concerned RDO of the
petitioner's native and origin. But we are of the opinion that since the Community
Certificate was issued to the petitioner by the second respondent-RDO,
Chengalpet, the said G.O. cannot be an impediment for the second respondent

to conduct enquiry with regard to the issuance of Community Certificate to the
petitioner's son. Therefore, considering the entire gamut of the case as well as
the said G.O., this Court is constrained to pass the following order.
