From the aforesaid decisions, it is clear that it is not open to the KPSC to ignore the Caste Certificate
issued by the Tahsildars.
29.2Therefore, we hold that the KPSC has no authority in law to ignore the Caste Certificate
issued by the Tahsildar and the KPSC has to consider the applications of Applicants in Applications
No.1546/2008 and 1753/2008 in accordance with law.
30. As far as the claim of the Applicant in Application No.2364/2008 that he was not provided
with additional Graph Sheets is concerned, it was submitted on behalf of the KPSC that the Graph
Sheets which were already issued to the Applicant had sufficient space for answering the question
and, therefore, additional Graph Sheets were not required. The Applicant has not produced any
material in support of this allegation. Therefore, the claim of the Applicant in Application No.2364/
2008 is liable to be rejected.
31. In the result, we pass the following
O R D E R
