The case of the petitioner is that he belongs to Kurumans Community, which falls under the Scheduled Tribes based on the constitution Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes Order 1950, as amended by the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 1976 and his community is listed as Serial No.18 of the Tamil Nadu Scheduled Tribes List and his blood relatives were already issued with such community certificates, but, when he applied for the same for himself and his children, vide his representation dated 23.9.2016, it was not considered by the respondent and hence, he is constrained to file the present writ petition.
