Bogus ST Certificate Lands The Official In Trouble

Hyderabad: The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) on Wednesday directed the Union finance secretary and the Hyderabad zone chief commissioner of central excise to withdraw all the benefits extended to a non tribal employee under the Scheduled Tribe (ST) quota. The bench comprising CATs vice chairman justice P Lakshmana Reddy and administration member R Santhanam,while delivering its verdict on a petition filed by a retired administrative officer of central excise,however,set aside the order issued by the authorities dismissing her from service for furnishing a fake ST certificate to secure her job.

The petitioner, B Susheela Devi, claimed the scheduled tribe status and joined the department in 1971 as a lower divisional clerk (LDC) and in the next three decades rose to become an administration officer under the quota.When criminal proceedings were launched against her after it was found out that her Schedule Tribe status was not genuine,Susheela Devi opted to take voluntary retirement in 2004.But when the authorities rejected plea,she approached the A P High Court contending that it was her father who got her registered as belonging to scheduled tribe in school records and that she genuinely believed it.The high court,after taking a written undertaking that neither she nor her children would use the ST status in future,directed the authorities to drop the criminal proceedings against her.

The CAT too issued a similar direction to the authorities and asked the authorities to revert her status to open category (OC) and calculate her growth in accordance with that proposition. Any promotions or incentives or benefits given to her under the ST quota should be taken back and pension fixed accordingly,the bench said and gave six months time to the authorities to implement the order.
