The examination for the Post Code 16\/08<\/p>\n<p>(Teacher-Primary) was conducted by the Board in two parts, that is, Part I<\/p>\n<p>(Objective) Examination and Part II (Descriptive) Examination for final<\/p>\n<p>selection.

GNCTD<\/p>\n<p>&amp; Ors.) by common order dated 7.9.2010. In OA No. 563\/2010, the<\/p>\n<p>tribunal has passed the following order:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>              &#8220;Decision of Apex Court in Subhash Chandra &amp;<br \/>\n              another v. DSSSB &amp; others (CA-5092\/2009) and its<br \/>\n              prospectivity thereof is not involved in the present<br \/>\n              cases, as now in the light of the observations made in<br \/>\n              paragraph 12 of the decision (supra), applicants have<br \/>\n              produced before us a copy of the list of scheduled casts<br \/>\n              in Delhi, which, the learned counsel states, have been<br \/>\n              issued under Article 341(1) of the Constitution of India<br \/>\n              whereby the casts \u201eChamar\u201f, \u201eJatva\u201f, \u201eKoli\u201f and \u201ePasi\u201f<br \/>\n              are included as scheduled castes in Union Territory of<br \/>\n              Delhi. If the contentions put forth by learned counsel<br \/>\n              for applicants is correct then the castes are not<br \/>\n              migratory and have a right to be considered for<br \/>\n              appointment on reservation basis in schedule caste<br \/>\n              category.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>              2.    In this view of the matter, we dispose of this OA<br \/>\n              with a direction to the respondents to verify the aspects<br \/>\n              of the castes being notified in Delhi by notification<br \/>\n              under Article 341(1) of the Constitution by an apt<br \/>\n              methodology within a period of two months from the<br \/>\n              date of receipt of a copy of this order and on<br \/>\n              authentication and verification of the aforesaid,<br \/>\n              consider the claim of the applicants for appointment in<br \/>\n              accordance with their eligibility within a period of one<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C) No. 610\/2011 &amp; connected cases                             Page 4 of 10<\/span><br \/>\n               month when such a verification and authentication by<br \/>\n              the respondents is complete.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>4.     In the other two original applications, the tribunal referred to the<\/p>\n<p>decision rendered in Mukesh Kumar &amp; Ors. (supra) and passed the<\/p>\n<p>following order:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>              &#8220;Being founded on identical questions of law and<br \/>\n              grounded on similar facts, these OAs are disposed of<br \/>\n              by directing the respondents to verify the aspect of<br \/>\n              their castes being notified in Delhi vide notification<br \/>\n              under Article 341(1) of the Constitution by an apt<br \/>\n              methodology within a period of two months from the<br \/>\n              date of receipt of a copy of this order.           On<br \/>\n              authentication and verification of the aforesaid, the<br \/>\n              respondents shall also consider the claim of the<br \/>\n              applicants for appointment in accordance with their<br \/>\n              eligibility within a period of one month when such a<br \/>\n              verification and authentication is adopted.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>5.     Assailing the aforesaid orders, it is submitted by Ms. Zubeda<\/p>\n<p>Begum, learned counsel for the appellant &#8211; Board that the tribunal has<\/p>\n<p>fallen into grave error in understanding the ratio of the decision in<\/p>\n<p>Subhash Chandra (supra) inasmuch as the said decision nowhere lays<\/p>\n<p>down that a person who has migrated to Delhi and taken a certificate<\/p>\n<p>from the authority in Delhi would be treated as a candidate belonging to<\/p>\n<p>the reserved category. Learned counsel would submit that the Apex<\/p>\n<p>Court has, after referring to the Constitution Bench decisions in <a href=\"\/doc\/532154\/\">Marri<\/p>\n<p>Chandra Shekhar Rao v. Dean, Seth G.S. Medical College &amp; Ors.,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WP<\/span><\/a>(C) No. 610\/2011 &amp; connected cases                          Page 5 of 10<br \/>\n (1990) 3 SCC 130 and Action Committee on Issue of Caste Certificate<\/p>\n<p>to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the State of Maharashtra<\/p>\n<p>&amp; Anr. v. Union of India &amp; Anr., (1994) 5 SCC 244 has opined that to<\/p>\n<p>confer the benefit on a person belonging to a particular caste or tribe can<\/p>\n<p>only be done if a caste or tribe is notified in terms of the Scheduled Caste<\/p>\n<p>Order or Scheduled Tribe Order and the same must be in terms of Clause<\/p>\n<p>(1) of Article 341 as also that of Article 342 of the Constitution of India<\/p>\n<p>as the case may be and no deviation from the procedure laid down therein<\/p>\n<p>is permissible in law. It is urged by her that the tribunal has flawed by<\/p>\n<p>not appreciating the fact in proper perspective that the respondents had<\/p>\n<p>produced caste certificates that were granted to them on the basis of caste<\/p>\n<p>certificates of their parents who belonged to other States and, therefore,<\/p>\n<p>they cannot be treated belonging to Scheduled Castes in Delhi solely<\/p>\n<p>because there is a list of Scheduled Castes in Delhi issued under Article<\/p>\n<p>341(1) of the Constitution of India covering their caste.<\/p>\n<p>6.     Mr. Aruneshwar Gupta along with Mr.Manish Raghav and Dr.<\/p>\n<p>K.S. Chauhan along with Mr. Tej Singh Varun, Mr.Ajit Kumar Ekka<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel appearing for the private respondents submitted that the<\/p>\n<p>tribunal has appositely appreciated the ratio laid down in the case of<\/p>\n<p>Subhash Chandra (supra) and, therefore, no fault can be found with the<\/p>\n<p>orders of the tribunal. It is further contended that the respondents had<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C) No. 610\/2011 &amp; connected cases                           Page 6 of 10<\/span><br \/>\n obtained caste certificates in Delhi and their castes, namely, \u201eChamar\u201f,<\/p>\n<p>\u201eJatva\u201f, \u201eKoli\u201f and \u201ePassi\u201f which are covered under the notification issued<\/p>\n<p>for Delhi under Article 341 of the Constitution of India and, hence, the<\/p>\n<p>order passed by the tribunal is absolutely defensible.<\/p>\n<p>7.     At the very outset, we may state that there is no dispute that the<\/p>\n<p>Competent Authorities of Govt. of NCT of Delhi had issued Scheduled<\/p>\n<p>Caste Certificates in favour of the respondents on the basis of the<\/p>\n<p>certificates to their parents by other States. On a perusal of the decision<\/p>\n<p>in Subhash Chandra &amp; Anr. (supra), it is clear as crystal that the Apex<\/p>\n<p>Court has followed the decisions in Marri Chandra Shekhar Rao (supra)<\/p>\n<p>and the Action Committee (supra). The Constitution Bench in Marri<\/p>\n<p>Chandra Shekhar Rao (supra) has clearly laid down that a candidate<\/p>\n<p>recognized as a member of Scheduled Tribe and Scheduled Caste in his<\/p>\n<p>original State on his migration to another State, would not be entitled to<\/p>\n<p>get the benefit of reservation of seats. After laying down the principles,<\/p>\n<p>their Lordships have stated thus:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>              &#8220;23. Having construed the provisions of Articles 341<br \/>\n              and 342 of the Constitution in the manner we have<br \/>\n              done, the next question that falls for consideration, is,<br \/>\n              the question of the fate of those Scheduled Caste and<br \/>\n              Scheduled Tribe students who get the protection of<br \/>\n              being classed as Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribes<br \/>\n              in the States of origin when, because of transfer or<br \/>\n              movement of their father or guardian&#8217;s business or<br \/>\n              service, they move to other States as a matter of<br \/>\n              voluntary (sic in voluntary) transfer, will they be<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C) No. 610\/2011 &amp; connected cases                            Page 7 of 10<\/span><br \/>\n               entitled to some sort of protective treatment so that<br \/>\n              they may continue or pursue their education. Having<br \/>\n              considered the facts and circumstances of such<br \/>\n              situation, it appears to us that where the migration from<br \/>\n              one State to another is involuntary, by force of<br \/>\n              circumstances either of employment or of profession,<br \/>\n              in such cases if students or persons apply in the<br \/>\n              migrated State where without affecting prejudicially<br \/>\n              the rights of the Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes<br \/>\n              in those States or areas, any facility or protection for<br \/>\n              continuance of study or admission can be given to one<br \/>\n              who has or migrated then some consideration is<br \/>\n              desirable to be made on that ground. It would,<br \/>\n              therefore, be necessary and perhaps desirable for the<br \/>\n              legislatures or the Parliament to consider appropriate<br \/>\n              legislations bearing this aspect in mind so that proper<br \/>\n              effect is given to the rights given to Scheduled Castes<br \/>\n              and Scheduled Tribes by virtue of the provisions under<br \/>\n              Articles 341 and 342 of the Constitution. This is a<br \/>\n              matter which the State legislatures or the Parliament<br \/>\n              may appropriately take into consideration.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>8.     In the case of the Action Committee (supra) another Constitution<\/p>\n<p>Bench referred to the decision in Marri Chandra Shekhar Rao (supra)<\/p>\n<p>has opined thus:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>              &#8220;16. We may add that considerations for specifying a<br \/>\n              particular caste or tribe or class for inclusion in the list<br \/>\n              of Scheduled Castes\/Scheduled Tribes or backward<br \/>\n              classes in a given State would depend on the nature and<br \/>\n              extent of disadvantages and social hardships suffered<br \/>\n              by that caste, tribe or class in that State which may be<br \/>\n              totally non est in another State to which persons<br \/>\n              belonging thereto may migrate. Coincidentally it may<br \/>\n              be that a caste or tribe bearing the same nomenclature<br \/>\n              is specified in two States but the considerations on the<br \/>\n              basis of which they have been specified may be totally<br \/>\n              different. So also the degree of disadvantages of<br \/>\n              various elements which constitute the input for<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C) No. 610\/2011 &amp; connected cases                              Page 8 of 10<\/span><br \/>\n               specification may also be totally different.
