Court: Andhra Pradesh

Decided on: Dec-29-1997

Reported in: 1998(1)ALD726

ORDER1. In both the Writ Petitions the challenge is made to the Circular Memo issued by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in N0.1478/J-II/96-1 dated 18-10-1996.2. The question that falls for consideration, is whether the 'Kammara' Tribe as notified by the Presidential Order. 1976 is confined to certain areas or the entire State. The petitioners claim that they are residing in various parts of the Slate and they belong to 'Kammara'. The President issued notification of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Orders (Amendment) Act, 1976 - Act 108 of 1976 dated 18-9-1976 wherein 'Kammara' was added under Part-1 in respect of Andhra Pradesh as falling under Schedule Tribe. Therefore, since the petitioners belong to 'Kammara', they are entitled to be treated as Scheduled Tribe and hence the action of the authorities in not recognising them as Scheduled Tribe is wholly illegal and arbitrary and they seek appropriate direction to the Respondents to issue the Scheduled Tribe Certificates.3. In t...
