ORDER :
In the Government Order read above, Government ordered that children born
of Inter – Caste marriage shall be considered to be belonging to either the
community of the father or the mother according to the declaration of parents
regarding the way of life in which the children are brought up and that the
declaration in respect of one child will apply to all children.
2. The Government of India in their letter read above have informed that it is the
recognition and acceptance by the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe society of
the children born out of a marriage between a member of Scheduled
Caste/Scheduled Tribe with an outsider, which is the main determining factor
irrespective of, whether the Tribe is matriachal or patriachal and that the final
result will always depend on whether the child was accepted as a member of the
Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe or not. The Government of India have further
informed that infact the present Government order read above would affect the
interest of genuine Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe persons in the matter of
Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe benefits provided to them. Hence, the
Government of India have suggested that the Government order read above may
be withdrawn and Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe claims of the off-springs of
inter-caste married couple may be decided in accordance with the legal position
circulated by the Government of India.
