The Supreme Court was unequivocal in voicing displeasure over the High Court’s pedantic approach to the matter and its failure to consider established legal precedent, reminding previous opinion “A certificate issued by competent authority to this effect is only an affirmation of fact which is already in existence”. Setting aside the order of the Division Bench, it restored the order by the Single Judge allowing the Appellants to submit OBC certificate to claim benefit of reservation in the OBC category.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Indra Sawhney v.
