M. Deshpande, A.G.P. for Respondent nos.1, 3 & 5 Mr. G.G. Mishra, Advocate for Respondent no.4 CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK AND PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. DATE : JUNE 15, 2011. Heard Mr. Kunal Nalamwar, the learned counsel for the applicant/petitioner, Mr. A. M. Deshpande, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for respondent nos.1, 3 and 5 and Mr. Gopal Mishra, the learned counsel for respondent no.4. The caste claim of the applicant/petitioner of belonging to Scheduled Tribe has been invalidated. The writ petition has been preferred against the judgment passed by the Scrutiny Committee. It is the case of the applicant/petitioner that during the pendency of this writ petition, the respondent-Zilla Parishad has promoted certain persons from Scheduled Tribe category and the petitioner has 2 not been promoted, though he is senior to the persons who have been promoted. The applicant/petitioner, therefore, seeks a direction to the respondent-Zilla Parishad to consider the claim of the applicant/petitioner on the post of Child Development Project Officer and grant him the benefits from 04/10/2010, the date on which his juniors were promoted. Since the caste claim of the applicant/petitioner has been invalidated, the prayer made in this civil application cannot be granted. The applicant/petitioner cannot seek the consideration of his claim for promotion merely because some of the other Scheduled Tribe category candidates have been promoted. The civil application is, therefore, rejected. JUDGE JUDGE Diwale
