Clarifications

Where a person claims to belong to a Scheduled Caste or a ScheduledTribe by birth it should be Verified: –

(i) that the person and his parents actually belong to the communityclaimed;

(ii) that his community is included in the Presidential Orders specifyingthe Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in relation to the concernedState;

(iii) that the person belongs to that State and to the area within that Statein respect of which the community has been scheduled;

(iv) if the person claims to be a Scheduled Castes, he should profess eitherthe Hindu or the Sikh religion;

Page 45: At A Glance - Annual-14

4.20. SC/ST STATUS ON MARRIAGE 37

(v) if the person claims to be a Scheduled Tribe, he may profess any religion.

2. Cases of migration

(i) Where a person migrates from the portion of the State in respect ofwhich his community is scheduled to another part of the same State inrespct of which his community is not scheduled, he will continue to bedeemed to be a member of the Scheduled Caste or the Scheduled Tribe,as the case may be, in relation to that State;

(ii) Where a person migrates from one State to another, he can claim tobelong to a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe only in relation tothe State in which he originally belonged and not in respect of the Stateto which he has migrated.

3. Claims through marriage:The guiding principle is that no person who was not a Scheduled Caste

or a Scheduled Tribe by birth will be deemed to be a member of a Scheduledcaste or a Scheduled Tribe merely because he or she had married a personbelonging to a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe.

Similarly a person who is a member of a Scheduled Caste or a ScheduledTribe would continue to be a member of that Scheduled Caste or ScheduledTribe as the case may be, even after his or her marriage with a person whodoes not belong to a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe.4. Cases of conversion and re-conversion:

(i) Where a Scheduled Caste person gets converted to a religion other thanHinduism or Sikhism and then reconverts himself back to Hinduism orSikhism, he will be deemed to have reverted to his original ScheduledCaste, if he is accepted by the members of that particular caste as oneamong them.

(ii) In the case a a descendant of a Scheduled Caste convert, the mere fact ofconversion to Hinduism or Sikhism will not be sufficient to entitle him tobe regarded as a member of the Scheduled Caste to which his forefathersbelonged. It will have to be established that such a convert has beenaccepted by members of the caste claimed as one among themselvesand has thus become a member of that caste.

5. Cases of adoption:Great care has to be exercised in dealing with cases where a person claims

to be a Scheduled Caste on the ground that he has been adopted by a Sched-uled Caste person. The validity of the adoption has to be clearly established

Page 46: At A Glance - Annual-14

38 CHAPTER 4. ACADEMIC

before any caste certificate can be given. It is for the party to prove his claimby cogent and reliable evidence.

(1) The requirements of valid adoption are given in section 6 to 11 of theHindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 (relevant extracts of whichare attached). The actual giving and taking of the child in adoption is amandatory requirement and thereafter the adopted child is deemed to bethe child of his adoptive father or mother for all purposes and the childsevers all ties with the family of his or her birth. Ordinarily, no childwho has attained the age of 15 years or who is married can be given inadoption unless there is a custom or usage applicable to the parties.

(2) In deciding whether an adoption is valid, the certificate issuing author-ity should satisfy himself that all the requirements of Law have beencomplied with. He should also take into account the behaviour of thechild after adoption whether he physically lives with and is supportedby his adoptive parents and receives no financial help from his originalparents. In case these conditions are not satisfied, the certificate shouldbe refused.

(3) Where the case relates to an adoption of a married person or of a person ofthe age of 15 years and above, the certificate shall be required to be givenby the District Magistrate who shall, after making due enquiries as tothe validity of the adoption and as to whether such adoption is permittedby a custom or usage applicable to the parties, make an endorsement tothat effect on the certificate. Such custom or usage should have beencontinuously and uniformally observed for a long time and obtained theforce of law among the Hindus of that particular area, or that community,group or family provided that the custom or usage is certain and notUnreasonable or apposed to public policy and in the case of custom orusage in respect of a particular family, that the custom or usage hasnot been discontinued. In addition it should be verified that all otherconditions for a valid adoption, including the Physical transfer of theadopted person to the family of the. adoptive parents and that he hassevered all ties with the original parents are fulfilled.

Whether a person of Scheduled Caste origin who has embracedChristian religion or Islam will he be treated as Scheduled Caste?Ans: NoCan a non-Scheduled Caste or non-Scheduled Tribe person whomarries a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe person will get thebenefits meant for the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe?

Page 47: At A Glance - Annual-14

4.20. SC/ST STATUS ON MARRIAGE 39

Ans: No. The guiding principle is that no person who was not a ScheduledCastes and Scheduled Tribes by birth will be deemed to be a member of aScheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe merely because he or she had married aperson belonging to a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe.

Can a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe person who marries anon-Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes person will continueto get benefit of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

Ans:Yes

What shall be the status of the off spring of a couple one of whomis a Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe?

Ans: To decide the status of an off-spring of a couple where one of thespouses is a member of Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe, the crucial testfollowed is to determine whether the child has been accepted by the ScheduledCaste /Scheduled Tribe community as a member of their community andhas been brought up in that surrounding and in that community or not.If the child has been accepted by the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled TribeCommunity and has been brought up in the surrounding of Scheduled Casteor Scheduled Tribe spouse then, the child would be treated as ScheduledCaste or Scheduled Tribe ,as the case may be. However, each case is to beexamined on its merit. However, in general, the following illustrations aremade:

Example I - Father - Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Mother- non-ScheduledCaste /non-Scheduled Tribe Child- shall be Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe.

Example II - Mother - Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Father - non-ScheduledCaste/ non-Scheduled Tribe Child - shall be non-Scheduled Caste/non-ScheduledTribe.

Note: each case will be decided on case to case basis as per its merit.

Is a member of Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe listed in the listof one State eligible for benefits as Scheduled Caste or ScheduledTribe in another State/UT.

Ans: The list of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes is State/UT specific.As such a member of Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe is eligible forbenefits in his state of origin only. A member of Scheduled Caste or ScheduledTribe Community, who migrates to other State/UT is not entitled to getScheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe benefits, from the state of migration.

Example:- A Scheduled Caste person who migrates from State of Punjabto Rajasthan will not get the benefits extended to the Scheduled Castes ofRajasthan but he will continue to get benefits of the State of his origin,i.e., Punjab. But he will be eligible for benefits available under CentralGovernment and its agencies in the State of Rajasthan also.

The PPC of the Departmentmay be entrusted the responsibility to ensure that;

(l) As envisaged in the referred to schemes of research fellowship, researchscholars are to be engaged for various other academic tasks to the limitof 10 hours per week. The Department should device their own mecha-nism to see that the services of research scholars enrolled with them areliberally utilized for such academic works within the limit imposed forsupporting the academic activities of the Department. On method couldbe to assign a group of research scholars to a mentor teacher of the De-partment who could liberally use their service for the defined academicwork;

(m) There could be a situation where additional teaching load of a Depart-ment could be much beyond the research scholar enrolled with it, par-ticularly in the Institute of Medical Sciences. In such a situation, theDepartment of such Institutes/Faculties may engage research scholarsenrolled in other Departments/Faculties who could be gainfully utilizedto share their extra load. Such engagement can take place in joint con-sultation of the two Departments concerned. However, it needs to beensured that ceiling of three class per week of teaching classes per re-search scholar norm is not breached;

(n) The recommendations of the PPC on engagement of research scholaras teaching assistants, under this scheme, shall be submitted to theDeputy Registrar (Academic) by 15th September 2014 (1, III, V 86 VII-Semesters) and 31st December 2014 (II,IV, VI 8s VIII-Semesters) forobtaining the approval of the Vice-Chancellor.

4.22 Catch-up Classes/ Extra Classes for ex-

posure of students to requisite hours of

teaching-reg.

As you are aware that fully automated counseling module has been imple-mented for the first time during the academic session 2014-15. Due to variousissues emanating from the first implementation of the automated system, theacademic session has got delayed by about two weeks. The reasons for de-lay, necessary corrective action required for future and plausible action planfor dealing with some of the issues emanating from its implementation hasbeen discussed in detail during the meeting of the University Admission Co-ordination Board (UACB) in its meeting held on 4th September 2014 andsubsequently in the meeting of the Directors of the Institutes and the Deansof the Faculties held under the Chairmanship of the Vice-Chancellor on the6th September 2014.

2. During the aforesaid meetings, it was gathered that classes in someof the Faculties/ Departments/Colleges have started from the 2nd and 3rdweek of August 2014 after significant number of students joined the courses ondeclaration of 1st and 2nd admission lists. Thereafter, subsequent rounds ofadmission lists have also been declared to fill up the vacant seats. Resultantly,some students have joined the courses after the commencement of classes. Itwas also gathered that teaching in other courses has started even later. Theviews evolved during the said meeting call for taking measures for exposureof students to requisite hours of teaching, as per credit requirement of thecourse, to make good the shortfall in teaching days.

3. Accordingly, the Vice-Chancellor has ordered that the Deans of theFaculties shall ensure that catch-up classes are organized for such studentsas have joined the course after the commencement of classes on declarationof subsequent rounds of admission lists. Similarly, extra classes be organizedin such courses in which the commencement of classes is noted to be delayedin comparison with the previous years, so as to ensure, that students areexposed to requisite hours of teaching-learning.

OneWarden may be appointed by the University for about 100-120 students.If the number of students increases beyond 120, a second Warden may beappointed by the University.

Extracts from Notification No. AB/19-A-46/9246 dated 26-06-1996 [in interpretation of Ordinance 16.6 (a)] Further the Vice-Chancellor shall appoint an Admin. Warden for every hostel. In the eventof the hostel entitled to only one position of Warden, the Warden shall bedesignated as Admin. Warden. Wherever there are more than one Wardens,one of them shall be designated as Administrative Warden. The tenure ofthe Administrative Warden shall not ordinarily exceed three years unlessotherwise extended by the Vice-Chancellor under exceptional circumstances.

Extracts from Notification No. AB/19-A-Gen.13867 dated 19-05-2000 [in interpretation of Ordinance 16.6 (a)] It is observed in manycases that the Deans/Principal/Directors casually recommended extensionof term of the present incumbents for Warden/Admin. Wardenship. As aresult thereof, these set of teachers continue to hold those positions for a longperiod while others however efficient/dynamic may they be, do not get anychance of exposure to the niceties of hostel administration.

Normally, the Deans/Principal/Directors shall not recommend the presentincumbents of Wardens/ Admin. Wardens of hostels for extension beyondtheir valid tenure/term of appointments except in a few cases on merit. Otherteachers on merit should also be given chance to get an exposure and provetheir efficiency in hostel administration.

Page 70: At A Glance - Annual-14

62 CHAPTER 5. ADMINISTRATION

Efforts should be made as far as possible to synchronize the handingover/taking over of the charge of Warden/Admin. Wardens during the sum-mer vacation. This would help the new incumbents to get them acquaintedwith the hostel rules, regulations and niceties of hostel administration.

Ordinance 16.7 Subject to his continuing as an employee of the Universitya teacher shall hold the office of the Warden for a term of three years unlessearlier relieved of his duties as the Warden by the Vice-Chancellor.

Provided that the Vice-Chancellor may renew the appointment of a teacheras the Warden for an additional term.

Extracts from Notification No. AB/19-A-4619246 dated 26-06-1996 [in interpretation of Ordinance 16.7] But this renewal wouldappear to be inevitable only under exceptional circumstances such as non-availability of suitable replacement or when the number of members of theFaculty is very less or due to any other compelling reasons.
