APHC010003762002 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT AMARAVATI WRIT PETITION NO: 22137 of 2002 Bench Sr.No:-7 [3506] Nellore District Agnikula Kshatriya Sangham ...Petitioner Vs. The Dist. Collector and others ...Respondents ********** Advocate for Petitioner: Mrs. V. Himabindu Advocates for Respondents: Mr. V. B. Subrahmanyam, GP for School Education, GP for Social Welfare CORAM : SRI JUSTICE CHALLA GUNARANJAN DATE : 22ndNovember, 2025. ORDER: The present Writ Petition is filed questioning the inaction of the 1st respondent in conducting enquiry under Rules 8 and 9 of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes Issue of Community, Nativity and Date of Birth Certificates Rules, 1997, with respect to the candidates who have been selected basing on alleged false community certificates in the D.S.C. 1998, 2001, and 2002 in the District of Nellore, and consequently to cancel the same. 2. The petitioner herein is stated to be a registered Society with the object of aiding the upliftment of its community people. In furtherance thereto, it has come to its notice that certain candidates, falsely claiming to belong to the 2 CGRJ WP_22137_2002 Agnikula Kshatriya community, which falls under the BC-A category, participated in the D.S.C. selections and were selected and appointed, based on alleged false caste certificates, thereby depriving genuine and eligible candidates of the same community. 3. The cause in the Writ Petition appears to be in the nature of Public Interest, inasmuch as the petitioner, except for making a general allegation that certain candidates were given the benefit of reservation based on alleged caste certificates, neither impleaded the candidates who allegedly obtained such benefit nor placed any material against them. 4. Even otherwise, if any such candidates were appointed in D.S.C. 1998, 2001, and 2002, the authorities who considered their candidature would have examined the genuineness of such certificates. Besides, if any genuinely eligible candidates were deprived of selection, they would have initiated appropriate steps in that regard. 5. In view of the above, and considering the march of time, this Court finds that the cause in the Writ Petition no longer survives. Accordingly, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, in this case, shall stand closed. CHALLA GUNARANJAN, J. SSN
