HARDAS AND N.D. DESHPANDE, JJ DATE : 22nd July 2010 ORAL JUDGMENT (PER P.V.HARDAS, J.) 1. Rule. Rule returnable forthwith. With the consent of learned Counsel for the parties, this petition is heard finally at the stage of admission. 2 2. The petitioner, who claims to be belonging to Mannerwarlu- Scheduled Tribe, came to be appointed as an Assistant Teacher by respondent No.2 on a post which was reserved for Scheduled Tribe category candidate. The certificate of the petitioner had not been forwarded by respondent No.2 to the scrutiny committee for verification. Despite this fact, a show-cause notice came to be issued to the petitioner dated 14.5.2010 calling upon the petitioner to produce the validity certificate; failing which the services of the petitioner would be terminated. 3. Since the claim has not been forwarded by respondent No.2 to the committee, according to us, it is extremely harsh to call upon the petitioner to produce the validity certificate. We, therefore, allow this petition, quash and set aside the impugned order and direct respondent No.2 to forward the proposal of the petitioner for verification to the scrutiny committee within four weeks from today. We further direct the petitioner to appear before the Committee on 30th August 2010 and direct the Committee to decide the claim of the petitioner within one year of 30th August 2010. In the meantime, no adverse action be taken against the petitioner solely on the ground that the petitioner has failed to submit his validity certificate. 3 Rule made absolute on the above terms with no orders as to costs.
