Rathna Shailaja v. The State Of Telangana Rep By Its Principal Secretary

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.RAMACHANDRA RAO WRIT PETITION NO. 31810 OF 2016 O R D E R:

Learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Government Pleader accepts that the issue involved in this writ petition, relating to digital copy of the certificate, is similar to W.P.No.23764 of 2013, which was disposed of by this court on 21.08.2013.

In the case on hand also, petitioners rely upon certificates granted to them by the Tahsildar, respondent No.3, which is produced as Annexures-P2 and P3, bearing Certificate No.C/4156/10 dt. 24.8.2010.

In view of that, there shall be a similar direction as in the above writ petition, which is as follows:

Since the Community, Nativity and date of birth certificate issued by the Tahsildar in 24.8.2010 is admittedly still in force, the respondents shall within two days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order furnish the petitioners digital copy of the said certificates. It is made clear that this order shall not preclude the respondents from initiating action under Section 5 of the Act for cancellation of the caste certificate in favour of the petitioners, if they are of the view that the said caste certificate is false.

MSR,J W.P.NO. 31810 OF 2016 Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed.
