The Central List of Other Backward Classes for Rajasthan, published by the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC), mentions “Kalal (Tak)” at Entry No. 25. I belong to the Kalal community but do not belong to the Tak sub-caste, nor do I use Tak as my surname or identify it as a synonym of my community.

The SDM Office, Dhariyawad, has taken the view that I must prove that I belong to the Tak sub-caste/synonym in order to be issued a Central OBC Certificate. Since I am not a member of the Tak sub-caste, I am unable to produce such proof.

However, I rely upon NCBC Letter No. 12011/9/94-BCC, which provides that communities included in both the Mandal Commission List and the State OBC List are deemed to be included in the Central OBC List. The Kalal community is included at Entry No. 69 of the Mandal Commission (Mandal Commission Report) List and at Entry No. 32 of the Rajasthan State OBC List.

Further, I have obtained an RTI reply showing that, in another district of Rajasthan, a person belonging to the Kalal community was issued a Central OBC Certificate without being required to furnish proof of belonging to the Tak sub-caste.

In these circumstances, I seek legal guidance on whether the SDM can lawfully insist on proof of the Tak sub-caste merely because Entry No. 25 of the Central OBC List is described as “Kalal (Tak)”, despite the above records and the RTI evidence showing a different administrative practice.

Quick Summary

A person from the Kalal community in Rajasthan is facing difficulties obtaining a Central OBC Certificate. The local SDM office insists on proof of belonging to the 'Tak' sub-caste, despite the community being listed as 'Kalal (Tak)' in the Central OBC List. The individual argues that the Kalal community is recognised in both the Mandal Commission and Rajasthan State OBC lists, and has evidence of other Kalal individuals receiving certificates without this specific proof. They are seeking legal advice on challenging the SDM's requirement.

If your application for OBC certificate was rejected with the reasons stated by you, it would be better to approach the appellate authority against the decision and if you don't get justice there also then you may file a writ petition before high seeking relief and remedy.
