Valid Caste Certificate Triggers Mandatory Scrutiny for School Record Correction | Natural Justice Violated by Refusal : CGHC
The Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that when a minor produces a valid caste certificate, authorities must refer the claim to the District Committee for scrutiny - refusing to do so violates natural justice and deprives children of their future reservation rights. This sets a binding precedent for all educational institutions to act on certified caste claims, not dismiss them on procedural grounds.
