1. If Chaliya and Saliya are the two different names of the same cast which has been mentioned as OBC as per SSLC marks sheet, then your entitlement for applying for the reservation benefits constitutionally granted to you is being denied for not allowing you to apply mentioning Saliya as your cast in the OBC category.

2. File a Writ Petition against the Government of Karnataka before the High Court praying for a declaration upon the concerned department to incorporate the caste Sailya also in addition to Chaliya since both are same caste but pronounced differently in Karnataka and Kerala.

If your application for OBC NL is rejected on grounds that Sailya does not fall under challiya you can file appeal against order of revenue authorities before the collector

2) rely upon central govt list wherein it is mentioned that salliya and challiya are cotton weavers

Kindly approach the collector with a written application attach the central notification and Affidavit regarding you caste and the similar names in the state. If collector does not responds to your query file a writ seeking direction before high court.

Dear Sir,

following is the situation, where in you are not entitled for reservation under OBC. The course open to you is to approach the High Court in Bengaluru and see that a direction is issued to revenue department to issue such certificate, since it is not possible as computer list not having such name then they will be directed to issue an hand written special certificate. I will explain the process in person, if you visit my office. The following is only similar rejection situation.

if the candidate coming under the creamy layer but does not find place in the central list then he/she is not entitled to OBC reservation.

These candidates are excluded from the benefits of reservation in Civil Post and Services under Government of India. OBC caste certificate should be issued within one year prior to the last date of Registration in job recruitment. Caste certificate accepted by the banking authority should be issued only by these competent authorities:

Sub-Divisional officer of the area where you and your family normally resides.

Issued by the Revenue Officer who is not below the rank of Tahsildar

Chief/ Additionalchief/ Presidency Magistrate

District magistrate/Additional District Magistrate

Collector/ Deputycollector

Deputy commissioner/Additional Deputy commissioner

Taluka Magistrate/Class stipendiary Magistrate

In case of SC/ ST/OBC category candidates, Caste certificate issued by the competent authority in the prescribed format as stipulated by the government should be accepted only.

File a writ against the concerned Authority of the Govt. of Karnataka which have been denying you the NCL OBC certificate, despite you satisfying all the requisite criterion.

The mere ambiguity in the name of the case, which needless to say are the same; cannot be made the basis to deny you this certificate.

Approach the Karnataka High Court and file a writ of mandamus.

Move a representation pointing out your grievances before finally approaching the Court.

You can apply for NCL certificate with the local civic authorities in your native itself.

Since Karnataka rules are different you may get respite perhaps in your own home town in this regard.
