CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : MARCH 23, 2011 Heard Shri Kukday, learned Counsel for the petitioner, Shri Khubalkar, learned Assistant Government Pleader for respondent no.1 and 3, Shri Patil, learned Counsel for respondent no.2, and Shri Deshpande, learned Counsel for respondent no.4. Civil Application No.622/2011 is moved by the petitioner seeking direction to respondent no.4 for declaration of result of the Second Year M.B.B.S. Examination, which was held in June 2010. Shri Kukday, learned Counsel for the 2 petitioner, states that caste claim of the petitioner was referred for verification to the Caste Scrutiny Committee in the year 2006. However, till this date, the Caste Scrutiny Committee has not decided the same. It is submitted that the petitioner secured admission to the M.B.B.S. Course from Scheduled Tribe category (Thakur). However, for want of caste validity certificate, result of the Second Year M.B.B.S. Examination of the petitioner has not been declared. It is, therefore, prayed that direction may be given to the respondent no.4 to declare the result of the petitioner provisionally, which would be subject to result of the petition. Shri Patil, learned Counsel for the respondent no.2 Caste Scrutiny Committee, states that within six months from today, the caste claim of the petitioner shall be decided on merits. We have considered the contentions canvassed by the respective Counsel for the parties. In the instant case, the verification proceedings are pending before the Caste Scrutiny Committee since 2006 and further time of six months is sought by the learned Counsel for the Caste Scrutiny Committee 3 for taking decision in this regard. In the circumstances as well as in the interest of justice, we direct the respondent no.4 to declare the result of the Second Year M.B.B.S. Examination of the petitioner, which was held in June 2010. The declaration of the result of the petitioner is purely provisional and shall not create any equity in favour of the petitioner. The declaration of the result of the petitioner shall be subject to result of the petition. With these observations and directions, the civil application is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE khj
