SURESH RAMAKRISHNA BURDE does not belong to a Scheduled Tribe. He belongs to an Upper Caste. But he was greedy. Reservation is a privilege that is offered to the Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes by the Constitution of India. He wants to enjoy the benefits of the Reservation System. He does not want to stop the exploitation of the Scheduled Tribal people by the Upper Castes. He wants to continue that by hook or crook. He gets a fake certificate from some corrupt babu for money and secured a job in BHEL by furnishing that false caste certificate declaring himself as a Scheduled Tribe in 1982. Date of appointment is 31.5.1982.

Nine years after Burde was employed, his caste certificate was referred for verification to the district collector of Nagpur district, when the Scheduled Tribes Employees Association of the Company lodged a complaint against him. The district collector as well as the Chairman of Scheduled Tribe Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee whom the matter was referred found the certificate false and it was invalidated.

In consequence to the findings the Company terminated his services in 2004 which was challenged by him in the Bombay High Court. The Court, after accepting his undertaking that he would not take any advantage of being a member of Scheduled Tribes in future, reinstated him in services.

BHEL then approached the Supreme Court contending that the employee got job by fraudulent means and termination of his job was right. A Bench comprising Justice G P Mathur and Justice R V Raveendran gave the ruling “Where a person secures an appointment on the basis of a false caste certificate, he cannot be allowed to retain the benefit of the wrong committed by him and his services are liable to be terminated“.

On 5/12/2004 his status as a Scheduled Tribal person has been cancelled by the Chittor District Collector.

I wonder, why there is no criminal prosecution of these under SC/ST atrocities act?

  • A genuine ST person lost an oppurtubity because of each one of them.

  • They lied and cheated the government.

  • They contributed to the corruption by paying money to some babu.

  • They are setting a precedant here. Others will follow them.

Many many more are still out there with fake ST certificates. When will they be caught and be brought to justice? Who will do that?
