Caste Certificate Finality | Subordinate Authorities Cannot Re-verify After High Power Scrutiny Committee Issues Certificate : Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that once the High Power Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee issues a verified caste certificate, no subordinate official or department may reopen or re-verify that status. This upholds the constitutional guarantee of dignity and non-discrimination by preventing endless bureaucratic harassment of beneficiaries of Scheduled Tribe quotas, ensuring legal certainty for affirmative action claims.
