Shimla: A job
aspirant's other backward class (OBC) certificate can only be
sought by the appointing authority at the interview stage and not
when the post is being applied for, the Himachal Pradesh High
Court said Wednesday.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Kurian Joseph and
Justice Sanjay Karol passed the orders on the petition of Arvind
Kumar, who challenged the decision of the chairman of the Himachal
Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Board barring him from
appearing in an interview Sep 13.
Arvind Kumar had applied for the post advertised in 2010.
The bench said: "In several cases it's found that the candidates
are made to submit an other backward class certificate at the time
of application as also at the time of interview and also at the
time of appointment, whereas other backward class status is to be
seen essentially at the time of appointment and that status is to
be seen by the appointing authority."
It also directed the selection board to consider the petitioner on
the strength of his certificate and in case he was meritorious, to
include him in the merit list.
Arvind Kumar's application was rejected by the selection board.
When he took up the matter with the board, he was allowed to
appear in the written test, provisionally. After clearing the
test, he was called for interview, said the petition.
The petitioner said the selection board chairman did not allow him
to appear in the interview and rejected his certificate for the
reserved category.
