3 The petitioner claims to belong to Mannervarlu Tribe and is
in receipt of the tribe certificate issued by the Competent
Authority. He has been selected for the post of Parichar Pratirup in
Government Press & Depot. However, on account of his inability to
furnish validation certificate, the order of appointment has not
been issued by the employer i.e. respondent No.3. He is called
upon by communication dated 2.12.2016 to tender the caste
certificate along with supporting documents. The petitioner
tendered necessary documents in support of his claim which have
been forwarded by respondent No.3 to the scrutiny committee on
5.12.2016. The petitioner claims that, in view of the Policy of the
State Government declared on 12.11.2011 as well as the decision
of the High Court in Writ Petition No.2136 of 2011 decided on
25.8.2011, the petitioner shall have to be issued provisional order
of appointment, subject to submission of an undertaking by the
petitioner to submit validation certificate within specified period.
The respondent employer, overlooking the directions issued by the
Government in that regard, referred to above, has refused to
issue order of appointment. As such the petitioner has approached
this Court.
4 In view of the facts stated as above, this petition can be
disposed of by issuing direction to respondent No.2 to take

decision on the tribe certificate verification proposal of the
petitioner, as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a
period of one year from today and it is accordingly directed. In
the meanwhile, respondent No.3 shall issue provisional order of
appointment, subject to furnishing of an undertaking by the
petitioner to the effect that he would submit validation certificate
within a period of one year from today and in the event of his
failure to submit validation certificate and in the event of rejection
of his claim by the scrutiny committee, the order of appointment
issued to the petitioner shall be liable to be withdrawn with
retrospective effect. The respondent No.3 employer shall issue
necessary orders of provisional appointment subject to tendering
of an undertaking by the petitioner, as referred to above, within
six weeks from today.
5 Rule is accordingly made absolute. No costs.
