Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondents

¶11

The petitioner by means of the present petition has assailed the order dated 15.07.2025 passed by the respondent no.5 whereby he has rejected the caste certificate of the petitioner.

¶12

A preliminary objection has been raised by learned Standing Counsel that against the order impugned, there is a statutory remedy of appeal before the District Level Caste Scrutiny Committee.

¶13

The aforesaid fact is not disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner.

¶14

Since, there is statutory remedy of filing appeal before the District Level Caste Scrutiny Committee against the order impugned, therefore, present petition is not maintainable before this Court.

¶15

Consequently, the present petition is dismissed on the ground of alternative remedy.

¶16

However, if petitioner prefers any appeal against the impugned order within a period of one month from today, the Appellate Authority shall decide the same on merit without entering into the question of limitation.
