Issues: Whether the Lok Ayukta had jurisdiction to direct issuance of a community certificate when the Kerala (Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes) Regulation of Issue of Community Certificates Act, 1996 provided a ally regulated procedure with the competent authority, appeal and further remedy.
Analysis: The special enactment governing community certificates was treated as a complete code for issuance of such certificates. The competent authority alone was empowered to issue the certificate under the statutory procedure, and a party aggrieved by its decision had to pursue the appeal provided under that enactment and thereafter seek judicial review, instead of bypassing that mechanism. The Lok Ayukta's role under its enabling statute was confined to investigating maladministration and, at most, communicating the grievance to the competent authority; it could not assume the function of issuing a binding direction for grant of a community certificate under a separate special law. Since the complaint sought relief in a field already occupied by the special statute, the order directing issuance of the certificate was beyond jurisdiction.

Ratio Decidendi: Where a special statute creates an exclusive procedure and designates the competent authority and appellate remedy for issuance of a certificate, a general supervisory forum cannot bypass or supplant that statutory mechanism by directing grant of the certificate.
