The petitioner has approached this Court by invoking its writ jurisdiction seeking to quash and set aside the order dated 21.8.2007 passed by the respondents determining his service on the ground that the caste certificate of the petitioner has been invalidated by the caste scrutiny committee. The petitioner has exhausted all the remedies available to him uptill the High Court by challenging the decision of the caste scrutiny committee before the Division Bench of Uttarakhand High Court which came to be dismissed. 2. It is the case of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner was given up as a child labour to a family to do household work and therefore it was not possible for him to bring on record certain : 2 : facts which could have established his caste claim. Well, the petitioner was issued the caste certificate. That itself shows that he was well aware as to what caste he belongs to and what he was claiming to be and is expected to know all the characteristics and the social traits of the caste which he claims to belong, which has been examined by the appropriate authority and found to be invalid. Therefore, there is no reason why this Court should again reexamine the matter. 3. As the matter stands concluded, the petition is therefore dismissed with costs which we quantify as Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only). Costs to be paid to the Respondent within four weeks. On failure to pay costs, the respondents would be at liberty to recover the same from the petitioner. (J.N. PATEL, J.) (SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J.)
