PER COURT :

1.

We have heard learned advocates for the parties. Considering the fact that the petitioner has applied for issuance of corrected tribe certificate off-line, which the State is not inclined to consider, and the petitioner is willing to apply afresh on-line, we dispose of this writ petition granting liberty to the petitioner to file on-line application within seven days. He shall also submit original tribe certificate with incorrect spelling to the concerned

Sub-Divisional Officer, whereupon the said officer shall verify the record of issuance of the certificate. If the officer is satisfied that the petitioner's claim is correct, then corrected tribe certificate shall be provided to the petitioner within a period of six weeks of production of the incorrect tribe certificate. If, for any reason, the petitioner's prayer is not granted, the officer shall pass a reasoned order and communicate the same to the petitioner.

2.

No costs.
