Sanjay for the appellant, and Mr. Braj Kishore Prasad Sinha, learned Government Pleader No.3 for the respondents. This appeal under clause 10 of the Letters Patent of the High Court of Judicature at Patna has been preferred by the petitioner of C.W.J.C. 15175 of 2001 ( Jawaharlal Prabhakar Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.), which has been dismissed by a learned Single Judge of this Court on 5.3.2002. The present appeal has been preferred with the following prayer: “That the appellant had filed the writ petition before this Hon’ble Court for a direction to the respondent Collector, Samastipur to consider the application of the petitioner for issuance of other Backward Caste Certificate in the format prescribed by the Central Government as the petitioner did not fall within the creamy layer category laid down by the Central Government in its notification no.36012/22/93-Estt. (SCT), dated 8.9.93.” 2 It appears on a perusal of the materials on record and on a consideration of the submissions of learned counsel for the parties that the writ petition has rightly been dismissed. We do not find any merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar,J. ) ( S. P. Singh, J.)
