Sharma has been extracted in para-5 of the said judgement which is the same in which the respondentpetitioner was issued the certificate by the Tehsildar. The Full Bench in the case of Gaurav Sharma (Supra) has opined that, “while it is true that a caste certificate is only a recognition of an existing status, an O.B.C. candidate necessarily must establish the twin conditions of belonging to an O.B.C. group recognized by the State and also that he does not fall within the creamy layer. In paragraph-26 of the judgment in the case of Gaurav Sharma, the Full Bench has further observed that, “while it is true that an O.B.C. candidate even he produces a certificate which evidences that he does not stand excluded from the benefits of reservation in terms of office memorandum dated 14th October, 2008, that issue still remain as to whether he is an O.B.C, as specified and identified by the State of Uttar Pradesh. The Full Bench further observes that, “although the certificate initially submitted by the O.B.C, candidates before the court did not stand excluded by virtue of standards fixed by the office memorandum dated 14th October, 2008, the certificate did not evidence them belonging to an O.B.C, as identified in the State of Uttar Pradesh” .
