To Judge ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 26044 of 2008 A ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 25th day of August, 2011 J U D G M E N T ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In relation to the claim of the first respondent for a certificate to the effect that she belongs to Scheduled Caste community of Hindu Mannan, the Lok Ayukta passed Ext.P2 order, directing the Tahsildar to issue a certificate as claimed by her. In this writ petition filed by the Government, this order is under challenge and at the stage of admission, this Court also granted an interim stay of the said order. 2. When the writ petition was taken up for hearing, it is seen that during the pendency of the case, on the strength of the procedure laid down in Government Order No.109/2008, the first respondent made an application to the Tahsildar for a caste certificate and that the Tahsildar referred the matter for enquiry by KIRTADS. Accordingly, enquiry was conducted and Ext.R1(a) report was made by the KIRTADS. On the basis of the said report, the Tahsildar W.P.(C) No.26044/2008 : 2 : has issued Ext.R1(b) certificate dated 25.01.2010, certifying that the petitioner belongs to the Scheduled Caste Hindu Mannan. 3. In the light of these subsequent developments resulting in Exts.R1(a) and R1(b), Ext.P2 order under challenge has become inconsequential. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the parties will be governed by Exts.R1(a) and R1(b). Sd/- (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) aks/25/08 // True Copy // P.A. To Judge
