A.Hi,
The Bihar government has said in the past that the children of an SC mother and a non-SC father would be counted as SC. Kerala held for decades that children could be counted as SC or Scheduled Tribe (ST) if either parent was from one of those categories. The children born out of marriage between parents of two different castes shall be considered to belong to either the caste of the father or the caste of the mother based on the declaration of the parent.

A.Hi,
Under such circumstances, the caste of the children will be dependent upon his upbringing. Since, the child was born and brought up by his mother, then the child will be considered from his mother's caste. You have to prove that the child was brought up following the customs of the ST caste.

A.Please take note that you are entitled to take your mother's caste because you were born and brought up by your Mother who is by birth ST and you are deserted by your father who is from Higher Caste.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has ruling in this regard(and it has been adopted by Bombay High Court's Nagpur Bench, Kerala High Court etc) that “ The child can take the caste-identity of either parent. Generally, there is a presumption in favour of the father's caste. The issue only arises where the child wants to get benefit of reservation in case of inter-caste marriages. There again, the child can take the mother's caste and avail reservation,” However, the onus is on the child to prove that he was brought up according to the customs of the caste if the status is challenged. If it is challenged, it may have to be shown that the child was brought up and raised according to the mother's community and therefore had suffered the hardship attached to the lower caste.

A.In these kind of marriages the court has decided that the caste of a child will be decided on the fact that how a child is brought up and what traditions are going to impact his or her lifestyle and way of bringing up. Since in your case you yourself have brought up your child and in your ways and traditions so undoubtedly he is going to follow traditions of your caste and will be understood to belong to your caste.

A.Dear Sir,
The caste of the child always goes as per the customs under which such child was grown up. If child is influenced by ST category customs then she will get such certificate.
