Inquiry on Caste Certificate Authenticity

My friend's uncle is employed by the WB Electricity Board based on an OBC certificate. He is about to retire in the next three years. He has had this certificate since college, according to the records. One of his relatives has filed an RTI against him, questioning the authenticity of the caste certificate he submitted for employment. The relative has presented an ancestral land bill stating that their grandfather belonged to the general category.

The matter is scheduled to be heard in a departmental inquiry next month. My friend's uncle has obtained the caste certificate of the relative who filed the RTI from his college, which states that the relative is classified as OBC. I kindly ask for suggestions on what further procedures should be taken care of. Are there potential issues that may arise from this situation?

Whether the caste validity is done by the "Authorised Scrutinee Committee"? If yes, then no one can challenge it. If no, take the help of a legal adviser.
