No counter affidavit is filed by the respondents. At the hearing, Sri M.Vidyasagar, learned counsel for the petitioners, submitted that the cause for filing this writ petition arose due to the urgency for petitioner No.2 to obtain the community certificate for joining medical course in the year 2004. He further submitted that in pursuance of the interim order granted by this Court, petitioner No.2 secured provisional admission under Rule 19 of the Andhra Pradesh (Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes) Regulation of Issue of Community, Nativity and Date of Birth Certificates Rules, 1997 pending verification of her community status. He further stated that so far no enquiry has been conducted and no final certificate has been issued. He also submitted that petitioner No.2 is in final year of MBBS and that the petitioners shall have no objection if respondent Nos.2 and 3 make detailed enquires and determine their community status. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Social Welfare is unable to state the present status pertaining to the enquiry. The fact that petitioner No.2 has been admitted in the MBBS course and presently is in final year is not disputed by the learned Assistant Government Pleader. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to respondent Nos.2 and 3 to enquire into the community status of the petitioners in accordance with law and take appropriate action depending upon the result of the enquiry. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.Nos.6370 and 7735 of 2004 are disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 13.10.2009 ES
