CORAM : PRASANNA B. VARALE AND NITIN W. SAMBRE, JJ DATED : 01st APRIL, 2019 PER COURT:- 1.

It is the case of petitioners who belong to 'Mannervarlu' Schedule Tribe. The tribe certificate had been issued in favour of the petitioners by the Sub Divisional Officer on 09/07/2010. As

there was an error in the certificate referring the status of the petitioners and instead of letter 'V' it was spelled as 'Mannerwarlu' with letter 'W', the petitioners submitted an application to respondent No.2 - Sub Divisional Officer, Dharmabad, seeking fresh certificates with a proper nomenclature.

2.

Our attention was invited to the Government Circular dated 22nd June, 2016. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that this very issue of the spelling errors was considered by this Court in the judgment and order dated 4th February, 2016 in Writ Petition No.1242 of 2016 and Writ Petition No.1418 of 2016. Learned Counsel submitted that the petitioners are also aware of the new procedure, namely, submission of online application to the Sub Divisional Officer for issuance of tribe certificate and the petitioner is ready to undertake the exercise of submission of application by way of on-line process. As the petitioners apprehend the disturbance in their education, they are before this Court.

3.

Our attention was invited to the order of this Court dated 27th November, 2018 in Writ Petition No.12472 of 2018. We see no reason to take a different view than the view adopted by the Division Bench of this Court in its order dated 27th November, 2018.

4.

The petitioners undertakes to tender on-line application to the Sub Divisional Officer for issuance of tribe certificate within one week.

5.

On tendering of the application as well as presentation of the hard copy of the application to the Sub Divisional Officer along with the tribe certificate already issued to the petitioners recording entry of the tribe as 'Mannerwarlu', the Sub Divisional Officer shall, without embarking upon further enquiry into the matter, issue corrected tribe certificate recording name of the tribe as 'Mannervarlu', as expeditiously as possible and preferably within eight weeks from the date of tendering the application. 6.

With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. ( NITIN W. SAMBRE ) (PRASANNA B. VARALE) JUDGE JUDGE SMS
