Caste Certificate Issued After Verification Can't Be Invalidated Merely Because Sibling Seeks Scholarship Under Different Caste: Karnataka HC

Live Law  

The Karnataka High Court has observed that the action of a sibling in securing a scholarship under the Backward Class Category cannot invalidate the caste certificate issued to another sibling under a different caste. Allowing the petition of one Prabhu Haveri who belonged to Hindu Bhovi caste, Justice M Nagaprasanna remarked that the 'greed' of the petitioner's brother to claim a scholarship under the Backward Class cannot invalidate the petitioner's caste certificate which was validated by the concerned authorities. However, the said caste certificate was cancelled on the grounds that the brother of the petitioner joined a private college with a scholarship under the Hindu Sunagar caste and that the petitioner claimed the caste status as Hindu Bhovi fraudulently. The Court thus was of the view that the act of petitioner's brother securing scholarship for an educational course by projecting another caste cannot mask the petitioner's caste status, which was granted, affirmed and re-affirmed by validation every time by the authorities.
