The members of the petitioner's association belong to scheduled caste community.

It appears that a number of beneficiaries were earlier identified but according to the petitioner, it is possible to accommodate many more. In this regard, a representation dated 25.02.2022 has been given by the petitioner to the third respondent. The third respondent is directed to consider the petitioner's representation and dispose it of on merits and in accordance with law within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
