It is submitted that the petitioner appeared in the 2 second year M.B.B.S. Examination, which was held in November/December 2010. However, since caste claim of the petitioner is pending before the Caste Scrutiny Committee for decision, the result of the said examination of the petitioner has not yet been declared. It is, therefore, prayed that direction may be given to the respondent Caste Scrutiny Committee to decide the caste claim of the petitioner within a stipulated period as well as to respondent no.4 to declare result of the petitioner provisionally. We have considered the contentions of the learned Counsel for the parties. The above referred facts are not in dispute.

The respondent no.4 is directed to declare the result of the second year M.B.B.S. examination of the petitioner provisionally. It is made clear that declaration of the result shall not create any equity in favour of the petitioner since same is provisional and 3 subject to decision of the Caste Scrutiny Committee. With these observations and directions, the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE khj
