Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Sunil B, from Thirthahalli Taluk, Shivamogga District, Karnataka.
Sir, I belong to Namdhari Vokkaliga Caste and according to National Commission for Backward Classes(NCBC), my category is mentioned in the Karnataka state list in Entry No 155.
But problem is: My father has mentioned my caste as Vokkaliga in School Transfer Certificate(TC), (Vokkaliga is a general Caste and Namdhari is a sub caste), and Taluk panchayat office people want TC as a document for issuing OBC certificate. But I told them that I don't any document which says about Namdhari. They also suggested to bring any documents either from Grandfathers are relatives which says that you belong to Namdhari, but I don't have that too.
I asked any affidavit will do the work. They said that Tahsildar may reject the application.
So, Is there any way that I can proceed to get the OBC certificate. I don't want to do any fake certification. What I have mentioned about my caste is true, but due to lack of documentation, I cannot prove that my category is Namdhari Vokkaliga.
Please help me in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Sunil B

Tehsil staff has advised you appropriately. Either you disprove wisdom of your father by producing evidence that he entered a wrong caste in school or else his declaration is final and you have no other remedy.

You can file a civil suit wherein you can pray for such relief and declaration of earlier entry as null and void.
