The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) has begun an inquiry into a complaint alleging denial of reservation to Scheduled Tribe candidates at Fluid Control Research Institute (FCRI), Kanjikode.
The complaint was filed by Radheesh Gopalan, secretary of Palakkad district committee of Kerala Vanavasi Vikasa Kendram. The NCST said it was taking up the matter using its powers under Article 338A of the Constitution.
The commission has directed the Ministry of Heavy Industries to submit a report within 15 days. Failure to comply with the same could lead to the exercise of its civil court powers under Article 338A(8), including issuing summons for appearance, it added.
