1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.8297 OF 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of | Coram, appearances, Court’s orders | Court’s or Judge’s or directions and Registrar’s | orders orders | ----------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : A.M. KHANWILKAR, AND S.S. SHINDE, JJ. DATE : 10TH FEBRUARY, 2010 The grievance before us is that the decision has been taken in haste without giving fair opportunity to the petitioner. We find no substance in this grievance as it is noticed that the petitioner was informed about the date of hearing and the petitioner appeared in the proceedings. The fact that the documents relied upon by the petitioner have been discarded by the Committee,does not mean that opportunity of hearing was not given to the petitioner. In our opinion, no fault can be found with the conclusion reached 2 by the Committee. Same is just and proper. Hence the petition deserves to be dismissed. 2. Counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that at least one indulgence be shown to the petitioner by clarifying that prosecution should not be instituted on the basis of impugned decision of the Committee invalidating his caste certificate. It is not possible for us to accept this request. The law will have to be given effect and if such action is instituted, it will have to take its logical end. 3. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. ( S.S. SHINDE, J. ) (A.M. KHANWILKAR,J.) sut/FEB10/wp8297.09
