DATE : 18th December, 2008. 1. Heard Mr. Mardikar, the learned counsel for the Petitioner. Mr. N.B. Kalwaghe, learned counsel, appears for respondent nos. 1 to 3. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved by the final Show-cause-Notice dated 26th August, 2008 issued by the respondent-Zilla Parishad. 3. The petitioner came to be appointed as a Health Worker on or about 6th May, 1999 against a post reserved for Scheduled Tribe, as the petitioner claims to belong to “Mahadeo Koli”, Scheduled Tribe, on the basis of the Caste Certificate dated 22nd July, 1992. Since the 2 petitioner could not submit the Caste Validity Certificate to the Zilla Parishad, the impugned Show-cause-Notice came to be issued. 4. We have noted that the petitioner has submitted his application for verification of his tribe claim vide the communication dated 6th September, 2006 addressed to the Respondent- Committee, and the petitioner claims that the same has not yet been finally decided. 5. The respondent-Zilla Parishad does not dispute that the petitioner has applied for the scrutiny of his tribe claim to the respondent no.4-Committee. 6. We, therefore, direct the respondent no.4-Committee to complete the scrutiny proceedings in respect of the petitioner's tribe claim of belonging to “Mahadeo Koli”, as expeditiously as possible, and, in any case, within six months from his appearance before the Committee. The petitioner shall appear before the Committee on 5th January, 2009. We direct the Zilla Parishad not to take any further action in furtherance of the impugned Show- cause-Notice till 31st July, 2009, or till the Validity Certificate is submitted, whichever is earlier. 7. In case the petitioner fails before the Scrutiny Committee, the Zilla Parishad is at 3 liberty to proceed further as per rules. 8. Petition is disposed off. Judge Judge |Hedau|
