Narwade, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. B.G. Kulkarni, counsel for respondent no.1. Mrs Khade, counsel for respondent nos.3 and 4. CORAM : D.D. SINHA & F.M. REIS JJ. DATE : 22 nd MARCH , 2010 . Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned counsel for the respondent no.1 and the learned counsel for the respondent nos.3 and 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is a student of respondent no.2 – college and is taking his education in Bachelor of Engineering Course. It is contended that the petitioner was admitted form O.B.C. category and after his admission the caste certificate of the petitioner was forwarded to the Caste Scrutiny Committee for verification which is pending for decision. The learned counsel for the petitioner 2 states that 4th semester examination of the Bachelor of Engineering Course is scheduled from 23rd March 2010. However, for want of validity certificate the university has not accepted the examination form of the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner therefore, submits that the appropriate directions in this regard may be given to the respondent – university to accept the admission form of the petitioner subject to result of the decision of the Caste Scrutiny Committee and the direction be given to the Caste Scrutiny Committee to decide the caste claim of the petitioner within a stipulated time. In the backdrop of the above referred facts, it is evident that since the Caste Scrutiny Committee did not conclude the verification proceedings, the petitioner could not submit the validity certificate and therefore, university did not accept the examination form. It is in these circumstances, we direct the respondent college to forward the examination form of the petitioner today itself by completing all the formalities in this regard. The university should accept the examination form provisionally and allow the petitioner to appear in the said examination. The permission granted is 3 totally provisional and subject to result of the decision of the Caste Scrutiny committee and shall not create any equity in favour of the petitioner. The university is directed to declare the result of 3rd Semester of the petitioner provisionally. The Caste Scrutiny Committee is directed to decide the caste claim of the petitioner in accordance with law and procedure applicable in this regard within a period of six months from the receipt of this order. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Steno copy allowed. JUDGE JUDGE Tambaskar.
