Orders on MLA’s caste certificate reserved

Staff Reporter

ADILABAD: Adilabad Collector Ahmad Nadeem on Friday reserved orders on the question of validity of the caste certificate of Khanapur MLA Suman Rathod based on which she had fought elections to the constituency reserved for members of the Scheduled Tribes. The MLA personally appeared before the Collector in response to a show cause notice.

The caste certificate of Ms. Suman Rathod came under investigation following complaints that it was obtained through fraudulent means. The complainant alleged that she was not a member of the Lambada Scheduled Tribe because she was born in Maharashtra where the Lambadas came under the backward classes.

In her five-page affidavit, the MLA contended that she had submitted proof of residence through witnesses to the Utnoor Tahsildar following which she was issued the certificate. Her status as a member of ST community therefore was true, she added.
