           Dated this the 14th day of August, 2009

                         JUDGMENT

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

Government Pleader.

2. Petitioner claims to belong to the Hindu Kadayan

Community. This is sought to be substantiated with

reference to Ext.P1. He availed a loan from the Palakkad

Service Co-operative Bank for the purpose of marriage of

his brother. He seeks to avail the benefit of the scheme for

waiver of loans availed by the members of the Scheduled

Caste and Scheduled Tribe. For this purpose, he requires a

certificate from the Tahsildar. The application will have to

be submitted before the Village Officer who has to forward

it to the Tahsildar. The complaint of the petitioner is that

the Tahsildar refuses to accept the application.

3. Tahsildar, the 1st respondent shall, on production of a

copy of this judgment by the petitioner along with the

original of Ext.P2 application, receive the same and proceed

W.P.(C).23239/2009
2

to issue a certificate after conducting an enquiry as is

necessary, within one month from the date of production of

a copy of this judgment. I make it clear that I have not

considered the petitioner’s case on merits. That will be

considered by the 1st respondent.

Writ petition is disposed of as above.

V.GIRI,
Judge
