:1: IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 5527 OF 2008 Vidya Hemant Thakur ..Petitioner Vs. State of Maharashtra and ors. ..Respondents Mrs. H.K. Mandlik i/by R.K. Mendadkar for petitioner. Ms. M.P. Thakur, AGP for State. CORAM: CORAM: CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & BILAL NAZKI & BILAL NAZKI & J.H. J.H. J.H. BHATIA,JJ. BHATIA,JJ. BHATIA,JJ. Dated: Dated: Dated: September September September 29, 2008. 29, 2008. 29, 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . The petitioner challenges the communication dated 17/7/2008 sent by the Principal of the College informing the father of the petitioner that the admission of the petitioner has not been approved for discrepancy of non submission of Caste Certificate and Caste Validity Certificate. The petitioner claims that after obtaining the caste certificate, she presented the same before the respondent no.2 and since the Committee is not disposing off the matter, the petitioner could not be faulted. In the counter :2: affidavit filed by the respondent no.2 it has been mentioned that when the matter came almost to an end and the petitioner and her father were called to appear in person, they appeared on 5/5/2007. On that date the father of the petitioner moved an application seeking adjournment of the matter till he produces certain documents which he had to obtain from his village. These documents were not presented till date. It appears that the Committee itself was not interested in getting the matter disposed off. The petitioner’s father was also not interested in getting the matter disposed off. If the petitioner’s father had applied for adjournment on 5/5/2007, the respondent no.2 could not indefinitely wait and could have decided the matter. In any case this court cannot hold whether the petitioner is in possession of a valid caste certificate or not and it has to be decided by the respondent no.2. . Therefore, by consent, this petition is disposed off by directing the petitioner to appear before the respondent no.2-Committee on 6/10/2008 and after hearing the petitioner, the respondent no.2 shall dispose off the matter within two weeks after :3: 6/10/2008 and the fate of the communication challenged in this writ petition will depend upon the decision taken by the respondent no.2-Committee over the caste certificate.
