Neeta Jog, Adv. for respondent nos. 1 and 2. This petition is directed against the order dt. 30.12.2010 issued by respondent no.1/Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Buldhana whereby the petitioner came to be reverted from the post of Health Assistant to Arogya Sevak during pendency of verification of caste claim of the petitioner before the Caste Scrutiny Committee. Counsel for respondent no.3/Caste Scrutiny Committee does not dispute that the caste claim is pending for decision. Counsel for the petitioner has brought to our notice the order passed by this Court on 6th January, 2011, which reads thus : “ Heard. Notice returnable on 20th January, 2011. Ad-interim stay in terms of prayer clause (2). “ Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that direction be given to the Caste Scrutiny Committee to decide the caste claim of the petitioner within a stipulated period in accordance with law and further prayed that the interim order which is in existence since 114wp90.11.odt 3 . the month of January, 2011 may be continued till such time the Caste claim is finally decided by the Committee. In the backdrop of the above referred facts, it appears that the caste claim of the petitioner is pending for verification and therefore, we direct the Caste Scrutiny Committee to take a decision by following the procedure applicable in this regard, according to law, within a period of six months from the date of communication of this order. Since the interim order is in existence since January, 2011, in the interest of justice, we continue the same till the caste claim is decided. It is made clear that the impugned order is subject to decision of the Caste Scrutiny Committee. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE jais
