Telangana HC Upholds Cancellation of ST Certificates

Telangana HC Upholds Cancellation of ST Certificates

The Telangana High Court has dismissed an appeal by a family who were trying to keep their ST-Lambada caste certificates.

The court said the family couldn't challenge the cancellation because they had other legal options.

The family had moved to Telangana from Maharashtra in 1956, which was after a law was made in 1950 that said only certain tribal groups could get these certificates.

The court also found that the family had used fake documents to get the certificates.

The court said the family didn't prove they were eligible before 1950, and they even lied about not getting notices.

So, the court agreed with the earlier decision to cancel their certificates.
