Judgment
:SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Ms. Niteshwari Kumari, Advocate For the respondent(s) : Mr. Sachin Kumar, A.A.G-II. …...... 02/04.05.2026:
Heard the parties.
The petitioner in this writ petition prays for issuance of Scheduled Tribes certificate in favour of the petitioner. According to him, the entry of sub caste “Yaduvanshi Chhatri”/Jadubanshi Chhatri” and “Baraik” which is made in the Khatiyan, should be considered for issuance of scheduled tribe certificate and accordingly such certificate be issued.
From the prayer of the petitioner and pleadings, this Court gets an impression that the petitioner claims for a declaration that he is scheduled tribe and since he is “Yaduvanshi Chhatri”/Jadubanshi Chhatri” and “Baraik”, he should be treated to be a scheduled tribe and certificate to that effect be granted to him.
Whether petitioner is “Yaduvanshi Chhatri”/Jadubanshi Chhatri” and whether his clan is Scheduled Tribe or not, cannot be declared in an application under Article 226 of Constitution of India. Thus, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. 1 ( 2026:JHHC:13172 )
The petitioner if has any grievance, may approach the Government or the State authorities for the aforesaid relief.
