Cases related to false claims of Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe status having been made to secure government jobs are very common, but the Madras High Court on Friday came across a peculiar case where a person belonging to a Scheduled Caste had allegedly claimed to be an Other Backward Class (OBC) candidate to secure the job of a lecturer.
Justice P.N. Prakash refused to quash a First Information Report (FIR) registered against the former lecturer G. Suresh Kumar by the Puducherry Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (V&AC) unit based on a complaint lodged by the Principal of Pondicherry Engineering College, an institution promoted and fully funded by the Government of Puducherry, in December 2017.
