The Bombay High Court recently dismissed a petition filed by a 20-year-old engineering student whose admission was rejected by the Directorate of Technical Education for failing to comply with the OBC category. A bench of Justice BR Gavai and Justice Riyaz Chagla dismissed the petition holding that caste of ‘Nadar’, listed as OBC in Tamil Nadu, cannot be treated as OBC in Maharashtra. Citing the Supreme Court’s decision in Subhash Chandra & Anr vs Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board and Ors, the court observed: “We are of the considered view that the Petitioner's claim of belonging to OBC for the State of Maharashtra has been justifiably rejected by Respondent No.2 since the 'NADAR' caste of which the Petitioner belongs is in the list of OBC prepared by the Central Government for the State of Tamil Nadu.
