AU/16/Dir/19/ 68.                                                                                                            23rd July 2019.
To
The Director,
BARC.

Sub: Submission of cast validity certificate employees belonging to Maharashtra State.
Ref: our earlier letter No.AU/16//10/10/91/63 dated 1/9/2010.

Sir,
With reference to the above subject we may allow to invite your kind attention to the following. We write this letter in continuation to our earlier letter dated 1st September 2010 addressed to the controller, BARC in which we have stated as follows.

As per guideline containing in the DOPT OM dated 16/3/1999 where in it has been directed that SC/ST candidate should be appointed provisionally on the basis of whatever prima-facie evidence they are able to produce in support of their claim belonging to SC/ST and such claim to be verified that is through the District Magistrate etc.
 After obtaining the ST certificate the same may be subjected for verification by sending to the concern District authority viz. District collector, Deputy Commissioner, District  Magistrate for confirmation.
Para No 40 of DOPT OM No.36011/6/2010/Estt.(RES) Dt.25/6/2010 where in it has been directed verification of cast certificate of SC/ST/OBC employees is required to be considered by issuing authorities as indicated there in.
Further the subject was discussed with the then Director BARC on 2nd May 2011  and he has opined   that “ Verification of Cast Certificate and validity by the scrutiny committee are two different issues and that the verification is mandatory and validation is required in case of any dispute. However if necessary a reference may be made to DOPT through DAE”.
Seven  years  later it   has been  sent a reference  to CAO(P) BARC  to CAO(A), BARC  on 17th August 2018  seeking the clarification whether any reference is sent to DAE regarding the exact procedure to be followed for verification of cast certificate in respect of SC/ST/OBC belonging to Maharashtra state and appointed in Govt. Service in BARC. If so the decision conveyed by DAE in this regard may be intimated to the undersigned (CAO (P)) immediately.
After passing 11 months no replay is received from  CAO(A) about the status of reference to DAE .In spite of  all the  Establishments in BARC has directed to  issue letters to submit validity  of cast certificate stating “clause 4(2) of Maharashtra Sheduled Cast,Sheduled Tribe,De-notified Tribes(Vimukta Jatis), Nomadic Tribe, Other Backward Classes and Special Backward Catogaries (Regulation of issuance &verification) the Cast certificate 2000 dated 23rd May 2001, the cast certificate issued by the competent authorities shall be valid only subject to the verification and grand of validity certificate by the scrutiny committee.”

It is brought to your notice that the Cast Scrutiny committee has given clarification that “The employees on establishment of Central Governmental Department, it is not necessary to verification of Cast certificate from the Scrutiny committee. The Order is only for the   employees posted in the state of Maharashtra and Semi Government.( O/W No.D.C.S.C.No2/Dhule/service cast/747/2014-15 dated 9/4/2014)

Now all the establishments are started issuing letter to the individual employees asking them to submit the cast validity certificate within stipulated time. It is also warned non- submission of validity certificate within the time limit, action will be initiated against such employees.
In this regard this Union emphasis that BARC employees are governed by the orders issued by the DOPT and endorsed by DAE. There no Orders issued by either DOPT or DAE to sending cast certificate to the scrutiny committee constituted by the Maharashtra State Government. The senior employees are only submitted the cast certificate issued by the District Magistrate/Commissioners/Collectors and they are under severe stress because of this administrative action. It will not be out of place to mention all these employees are completed the process of verification by the issuing authority.

It is therefore request you to instruct the administration to restrain from such action and only comply the DOPT/DAE orders on the subject.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,



(A.Sreedharan)
