Learned counsel for both the parties have submitted that the writ petition may be disposed of finally today itself at admission stage without inviting counter affidavit from the respondents. This writ petition has been filed for issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari to quash the order dated 26-4- 2008 passed by respondent no.3-Tehsildar Haridwar, District Haridwar (Annexure No.1) by which the petitioner has been denied the cast certificate Hazam (Nai) under the Other Backward Classes (O.B.C.) category. The grievance of the petitioner is that his application for issuance of O.B.C. caste certificate has been rejected by the respondent no. 3 on the ground that he is not a domicile of district Haridwar (Uttarakhand), while the certificate of permanent has been granted by Up Ziladhidari, Haridwar, on the basis of the report of revenue inspector as well as Tehsildar Haridwar, copy of which has been annexed as Annexure No. 7 to the writ petition. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the Government Order dated 29-3-1994 (Annexure No. 9) provides that caste certificate by the District Magistrate and other others including Tehsildar to those persons who are born in Uttarakhand and such persons have a right for issuance of OBC caste certificate in view of the said Government Order. The petitioner has also annexed the certificates issued by Tehsildar to similarly situated persons as has been annexed as Annexure No. 10 to 13. From a perusal of record, it is obvious that the respondent no. 3 did not consider the permanent resident certificate (Annexure No. 7) and the said Government Order while rejecting the application of the petitioner . In the above facts and circumstances, the respondent no. 3 is directed to reconsider the case of the petitioner for issuance of OBC caste certificate. The Petitioner is directed to supply the permanent resident certificate (Annexure No. 7) and other documents (Annexure No. 10 to 13) along with the certified copy of this order, so that the Tehsildar Haridwar may decide the application afresh without further delay in the matter. The officer concerned shall take a decision on the application of the petitioner considering the Government Order dated 29-3-1994 and other prevailing Government Orders on the subject as well as the documents, to be filed by the petitioner, as referred to above, expeditiously preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. All pending applications stand disposed of. Certified copy of this order be issued to the learned counsel for the petitioner by tomorrow on usual charges. (B.S. Verma, J.) RCP
