the matter has been referred to the MRO, Visakhaptnam who submitted his report
stating that Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao does not belongs to Konda Kapu caste but
he belongs to Plain Kapu and further requested to refer the case to the Sub Collector,
Paderu. Accordingly, the same was referred to the Sub Collector, Paderu, who in turn
after conducting enquiry has reported that there is no family with the surname of
“Thomurothu” has been resided in Paderu Division and hence it is a false caste
certificate. As such, the then District Collector, Viskahaptnam requested the HPCL
authorities to take action against the said employee. Accordingly, HPCL has initiated
action against the individual by issuing Charge Sheet and conducted domestic enquiry
in the matter and found guilty of the charges leveled against him.

“Para 5: it is obvious that the District Collector, who is the competent authority
at the relevant point of time to cancel the caste certificate, did not cancel the
caste certificate of the petitioner as such.
Para 6: Therefore, though there are reasons to find the Caste certificate to
be defective or fake by the competent authority; until the same culminate
into an actual order of cancellation by the competent authority, i.e., the District
Collector, subject to the further enquiry, as per the procedure prescribed under
G.O.Ms.No.282, dated.19.12.1980, no further orders can be passed in the
present Writ Petition. However, if any further proceedings are to be initiated,
the procedure prescribed under the Regulation of SC Act 16 of 1980, which
came into force since 16th May 1997, has to be followed. Since no procedure
either under G.O.Ms.No.282, dated 19.12.1988, or under the S.C. Act 16 of
1980 Act has been followed, no further orders need be passed in this writ
petition.”
Pursuant to the orders of the Hon’ble High Court in WP 7225/1995
dt.22-8-2006, the Chief Manger- HR, HPCL, Visakhapatnam requested the District
Collector to cause enquiry and to issue orders. As such, the then Collector,
Visakhapatnam has referred the said matter to the Revenue Divisional Officer,
Visakhapatnam and requested to enquire on caste and social status of Sri Thomurothu
Kurma Rao. Accordingly, the Revenue Divisional Officer, Visakhapatnam has submitted
his report vide reference 4th read above. The report of the Revenue Divisional Officer,

and migrated to Vizianagaram for their livelihood and settled in Vizianagaram.

B. During the enquiry the following Xerox documents were submitted by Sri
Thomurothu Kurma Rao in support his claim.
1. Caste Certificate issued by the then Tahsildar, Visakhapatnam
D.Dis.No.2205/81/A4 Dt.15.07.1981.

ST-Kondakapu and they belongs to OC and moreover the wife of Sri T.Kurma
Rao and his children are also not claimed the Caste of ST and all are belong

D. Sri T.Kurma Rao has not produced any documentary evidence to show that,
he belongs to ST-Konda Kapu community except the old certificate issued
earlier by the then Tahsildar and T.C. Therefore it shows that Sri T.Kurma
Rao himself obtained the Job in the category of ST quota fraudulently and
enjoying the benefits.
E. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Visakhapatnam finally opined that, it is a fit
case to place the matter before the DLSC as per the norms specified under
G.O.Ms.No.58/SW (J) Dept., Dt.12.05.1997 to take further suitable action.
On considering the report of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Visakhapatnam

appeared before the committee and stated that, his parents belong to ST Community
and his forefathers are native of Saripalli Village of Paderu Mandal. But, he did not

community.
4. The individual admitted in a statement that he never visited his native place
(Paderu) during his lifetime. He has completed his primary & secondary
education in Visakhapatnam. In the school records his caste was registered

the individual might have been obtained ST-Kondakapu caste certificate from
Taluk office Visakhapatnam vide RC.NO.2020/78, DT:28.06.1978.
5. Based on the said certificate, the individual has again obtained ST-Kondakapu

In pursuance to the reports of the Tahsildar, Paderu and Visakhapatnam Urban,
the DLSC Committee has again called for hearing on 18.06.2016 for conduct of enquiry
on the subject matter. The individual has appeared before the committee. While asking
about the original caste certificate of the individual, Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao
S/o Ramulu has stated that, the original certificate have been submitted to the HPCL
authorities at the time of appointment. As such, a letter has been addressed to HPCL
authorities for production / supply the original caste certificate of the individual.
In response to the request of the Joint Collector & Chairman, DLSC,
Visakhapatnam, the Deputy General Manager, HPCL, Visakha Refinery,
Visakhapatnam has stated that, the statement of Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao S/o
Ramulu that he has submitted the original certificates to HPCL authorities at the time
of appointment is “False”, as they do not have any practice of obtaining the original
certificates from their employees and retaining them for any period or reason.
The following are the copies of documents submitted by the individual
Sri.K.Kurma Rao in support of his caste claim.
On perusal the reports of the Revenue Divisional Officer, Visakhapatnam,
Tahsildar, Visakhapatnam Urban & Paderu, the Deputy General Manager, HPCL,
Visakha Refinery, Visakhapatnam and as per the documentary evidence submitted by
the Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao S/o Ramulu at the time of hearings, the DLSC
Committee has submitted the it’s findings as follows
1. On perusing, the above documents , it is observed that, the Caste mentioned
in the School certificates was based on the declaration submitted by his
Parents/Guardian. The caste certificates produced by the individual are
copies of the caste certificates. There are no original caste certificates
submitted by the individual. Hence, those documents cannot be taken into
consideration.
2. As per the statement given by the individual and report submitted by the
Revenue Divisional Officer, it is noticed that, no family member in the entire
family of Sri T.Kurma Rao has married Konda Kapu caste people. All family
members had matrimonial relations with plain Kapu people only. Sri
Thomurothu Kurma Rao wife also belongs to Kapu community only. Even the
daughter of Sri.T.Kurmarao has also married to a Kapu community person.
The marriage relations of himself and his family members, clearly prove that,
he is not following any tribal customs.
3. During enquiry by the DLSC, he did not submit any proof (or) Document that
he belongs to Konda Kapu Community.
4. Nor he produced any of his family members caste certificates that they belong
Konda Kapu community.
5. Nor he brought any of his relatives caste certificates for the DLSC enquiry
that they belong to Konda Kapu community.
6. No documentary evidence produced by him during the complete enquiry.
In view of the above, the DLSC opined that,
“the certificates produced by the individual had no validity and are not
reliable. The family tree itself speaks that, the entire family members
undergone matrimonial relations with plain Kapu people only. And there is
no documentary evidence to show that he belongs to Konda Kapu. Hence
recommended for cancellation of ST Konda Kapu certificate issued to Sri
T.Kurma Rao in 1978 and 1981 by the Tahsildar, Visakhapatnam Urban
and 1976 certificate by members of Legislative council.”
Based on the above findings / recommendations of the District Level Scrutiny
Committee, Visakhapatnam and according to the Section 5 (1) of the Andhra Pradesh
(SC, ST & BCs) Regulation of Issue of Community Certificate Act, 1993, a show cause
notice has been issued to Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao S/o Ramulu on 19.01.2017

was issued by the Tahsildar,
e) He received a communication dt.26-6-1989 from the Administration of HPCL

g) He also submitted that he was born on 29-1-1954 and his caste and other
particulars are given by his parents to the concerned authorities, accordingly
the same was recorded in the school certificates and also subsequent to
the educational records.
h) He also stated that the reports of the Sub Collector and the Tashildar, Paderu
prove that his fore fathers were once resided in Saripalli village of Paderu
mandal and subsequently they migrated from the village, as such, he averred
that the findings of the above officers prove that his forefathers/parents are
residents of Paderu, as such his caste was mentioned as ‘Kondakapu”
i) He further stated that the report of the Tahsidlar, Visakhapatnam speaks
that the individual (T.Kurma rao s/o Ramulu) is a resident of Simhachalam,
and his parents native place was Edurupalli of Paderu mandal. His father
was a blacksmith worker, his mother was a hose wife and they have migrated
from Paderu to Vizianagaram and further to Visakhapatnam to eak out their
livelihood. Since, his parents migrated at the age of 2 years of the individual,
he does not know about the customs and habits of Konda kapu caste. He
averred that the report of the Tahsildar, Visakhapatnam established the fact
that his parents are residents of Paderu and subsequently came down to
Visakhapatnam for their livelihood as such his parents recorded his caste
as “ST- Kondakapu”. He further averred that the revenue officials
observations and their reports are in his favour .He also submitted that he
has performed the marriage of his daughter. His son aged about 32 years
who is an unemployee and suffering with hearing loss
j) The individual has quoted different sections of Indian Evidence Act and also
IPC and also some citations and rulings of the Hon’ble High Court in support
of his case and finally requested to set aside the order passed by the DLSC
and confirm his caste is as “ ST Konda Kapu and to issue necessary
proceedings to all concerned officers including HPCL authorities as
otherwise he will be put to irreparable loss and hardship.
After receiving his written explanation, again a notice has been issued to the
certificate holder i.e., Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao S/o Ramulu in order to provide
another opportunity to the claimant to safeguard the principles of natural justice to
prove his case with a request to attend before the Collector, Visakhapatnam on
19-5-2018 at 11.00 AM in Collector’s Office, Visakhapatnam for making a
10
ANDHRA PRADESH GAZETTE, July 3, 2018
representation or any evidences if he wishes as per the Section 5 (1) of the Andhra
Pradesh (SC, ST & BCs) Regulation of Issue of Community Certificate Act, 1993,
Accordingly, the certificate holder i.e., Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao S/o Ramulu
along with his counsel has attended before me on 19-5-2018 at 11.00 AM in Collector’s
Office, Visakhapatnam. Sri.A.RamMohan, Advocate, Visakhapatnam has filed Vakalat
on behalf of the claimant. The counsel has reiterated the contents of the written
explanation submitted by the individual dt.13-3-2017 . The counsel further argued that
at the time of childhood of the Sri. Thomortholu Kurma Rao, his parents got recorded
the caste as “ST-Kondakapu” in school records, as such, there is no fault of the
individual in this regard and also submitted that the individual has already retired from
service due to attaining the age of superannuation and his retirement benefits have
not been settled so far due to pendency of caste enquiry and it is unjust to enquire
about his case after his retirement and finally requested to consider the written
explanation and also citations mentioned therein and set aside the order passed by
the DLSC and confirm his caste is as “ ST Konda Kapu in the interest of justice.
The written explanation of Sri.Thumurothu Kurma Rao and the arguments of his
counsel have been taken into consideration and examined. In his written explanation
the individual contended that “that the reports of the Sub Collector and the Tashildar,
Paderu prove that his fore fathers were once resided in Saripalli village of Paderu
mandal and subsequently they migrated from the village, as such, he averred that the
findings of the above officers prove that his forefathers/parents are residents of Paderu,
as such his caste was mentioned as ‘Kondakapu” His contention that as per the reports
of Sub Collector & Tahdildar, Pader his forefathers/parents are residents of Saripalli
village in Paderu mandal may be correct but his further contention that his forefather/
parents being residents of Saripalli village in Paderu mandal their case was mentioned
as “ ST- Konda Kapu” is not acceptable and this argument does not stand for litmus
test. It is pertinent to note that a good number of non-trials have been residing in different
pockets of Agency area covered by 11 mandals in Paderu division (including in Paderu
mandal) since ancient times but due to their mere residence in agency area they can
not claim that their caste as tribal category.
He also argued that since, his parents migrated at the age of 2 years of the
individual, he does not know about the customs and habits of Kondakapu (ST) caste
is also not acceptable. While he is claiming his case status as KondaKapu(ST) even
in plain areas, he ought to have the knowledge of customs and habits of the said caste
which are supposed to be observed by him wherever he resides.
ANDHRA PRADESH GAZETTE, July 3, 2018
11
It is astonishing to note that though Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao S/o Ramulu has
been claiming Konda Kapu(ST) caste status and obtained Konda Kapu(ST) Certificates
form the Taahildar, Visakhaptnam and obtained job in HPCL by virtue of those caste
certificates , he did not choose to claim his own caste to his two own children
(son & daughter). He also not stated about his own brothers and sisters and their
caste status or atleast he has not mentioned about any of his relatives and their caste
status. This observation itself speaks a volume about the genuineness of the caste
claim (ST-Konda Kapu) of the individual Sri.T.kurma Rao.
Moreover the individual has failed to produce the original certificates either
before the DLSC or before this authority. His contention that he has handed over his
original caste certificates to HPCL authorities at the time of his joining in HPC is proved
to be false since in response to the request of the Joint Collector & Chairman, DLSC,
Visakhapatnam, the Deputy General Manager, HPCL, Visakha Refinery,
Visakhapatnam has stated that, “ the statement of Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao S/o
Ramulu that he has submitted the original certificates to HPCL authorities at the time
of appointment is “False”, as they do not have any practice of obtaining the original
certificates from their employees and retaining them for any period or reason”.
The argument of the counsel that at the time of childhood of the Sri. Thomortholu
Kurma Rao, his parents have given the particulars of their caste etc., to the concerned
authorities and accordingly the same was recorded in the school certificates and also
subsequent to the educational records, as such, , there is no fault of the individual in
this regard is not acceptable. This contention does not stand for legal scrutiny since
the claimant is the ultimate beneficiary by securing the ST-Konda Kapu certificate and
by virtue of the same he got employment. He can not get any shelter by throwing the
responsibility on his parents on the pretext that at his childhood his parents got recorded
his caste as ST-Konda Kapu in school records. At least, the individual has not put forth
any justified reason why the individual has not chosen to claim the same case (i.e.,ST-
Konda kora) which is being claimed by him to his own two children. Moreover as per
the family tree of Sri.Thomoruthu Kurma Rao (as reported by the Revenue Divisional
Officer, Visakhapatnam) it is crystal clearly established that his own two children (Son
& Daughter) belong to Kapu (caste) which is very astonishing and peculiar.
The delinquent has not put forth any evidences/proofs regarding anthropological
and ethnological traits, deities, rituals, customs, mode of marriages, death ceremonies/
method of burial of dead bodies etc., which are being observed by them on par with
real Konda Kapu (ST) people in support of his caste claim. Though, the burden of
12
ANDHRA PRADESH GAZETTE, July 3, 2018
proof of his caste status lies on him, the individual Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao has
miserable failed to do so. Further, the individual has quoted different sections of Indian
Evidence Act and also IPC and also some citations and rulings of the Hon’ble High
Court in support of his case which are irrelevant to the case on hand.
After hearing the individual and his counsel and on considering the contents of
the explanation of Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao, and on perusal of the material placed
before me, taking into consideration of recommendations of the District Level Scrutiny
Committee, Visakhapatnam and in the absence of substantive evidences on part of
the certificate holder , I have no hesitation to accept the recommendation of the DLSC.
I am of the opinion that, Sri Thomurothu Kurma Rao S/o Ramulu does not belongs to
ST -Konda Kapu , as such, the certificates held by the individual deserve cancellation.
In view of the of the reasons explained above and in exercise of the powers
conferred under Section 5 (1) of the Andhra Pradesh (Scheduled Castes, Scheduled
Tribes and Backward Classes) Regulation of Issue of Community Certificate Act 1993
read with rule 9 (7) of the Andhra Pradesh (Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and
