Judges say this will reduce chances of malpractice; direct TN government to respond to the suggestion
The Madras High Court on Friday suggested that the State government order that henceforth only officers in the rank of Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) would be competent to issue community, income and nativity certificates, after proper inquiry, to prevent existing malpractices in issuance of such certificates to ineligible people. Justices N. Kirubakaran and T.V. Thamilselvi included the Revenue Secretary, suo motu, as one of the respondents to a writ petition before them and sought the response of the State government by July 9 to the suggestion made by the court. The judges expressed dismay over numerous complaints of false claims having been made regarding caste status.
