S.CHANDRAMOHAN vs STATE REP. BY ITS SECRETARY — C.A. No. 2133/2012

Case Summary: C.A. No. 002133/2012 S. Chandramohan v. State Represented by its Secretary & Anr. S. Chandramohan, appointed as a Typist at Life Insurance Corporation in 1984 under the Scheduled Tribes quota, challenged the dismissal of his plea regarding community certificate verification. A three-member Scrutiny Committee rejected his claim of belonging to the "Konda Reddi" tribal community, finding he actually belonged to the "Reddiyar" forward community, citing missing original school records and suspicious certificates. The Supreme Court dismissed his appeal on 16 August 2023, upholding the High Court's judgment, finding the Committee's rejection was based on comprehensive documentary evidence and proper procedures, not just anthropological findings. The Court allowed him to approach LIC for any post-dismissal benefits he may be entitled to in law. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
