ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by R.Mahadevan,J.) Mr.M.K.Subramanian, learned Government Pleader accepts notice for the respondent. With consent, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.

2. The petitioner has preferred this writ petition seeking a writ of Mandamus directing the respondent to issue community certificate to the petitioner's children, viz., (1) V.Sharumathi, and (2) V.Lavanya, that they belong to Kurumans (ST) Community based upon the community certificate already issued to the petitioner.

3. The petitioner made an application to the respondent https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

on 15.7.2016 seeking Kurumans (ST) Community Certificate to his children, annexing therewith his community certificate. Finding no response to his application, the petitioner has come up with the instant writ petition seeking the relief stated supra.

4. Once the petitioner has been issued with Kurumans (ST) Community Certificate, there is no reason to take a contrary view in respect of the petitioner's children. However, the authority concerned, viz., the respondent, is the competent authority to verify the community status of the petitioner. We, therefore, dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to pass orders on the petitioner's application dated 15.7.2016 within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar sasi To:
