Rane, Additional Government Pleader for respondent Nos.1 to 3. ... CORAM : DALVEER BHANDARI, C.J. & S.A. BOBDE, J. DATE : MARCH 28, 2005. P.C.: 1. Petitioner Nos.1 to 9 submitted that they have not yet received the Caste Validity Certificates. We direct the Divisional Social Welfare Officer, Mumbai Division, Mumbai, to scrutinise the case of petitioner Nos.1 to 9 and decide the same within a 2 period of three months from today. Petitioner Nos.1 to 9 are directed to appear before respondent No.3 on 7.4.2005 at 11 a.m. The admission of petitioner Nos.1 to 9 in respondent No.4 College shall be restored during the interregnum. However, this would not create any equity in favour of Petitioner Nos.1 to 9. 2. Insofar as Petitioner Nos.10 to 13 are concerned, they submitted that they have received the Caste Validity Certificates from the Caste Scrutiny Committee only beyond the stipulated period. They, therefore, could not submit the Caste Validity Certificates within the stipulated period of 12 weeks. The delay in filing the same is condoned. The respondents are directed to restore the admission of petitioner Nos.10 to 13 in the 4th respondent College. 3. No further directions are necessary. This petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
