This is an unfortunate case of the petitioner, a student who had sought admission in the 6th standard in the respondent no.2 institute. The petitioner had passed 5th standard and, therefore, opted for admission in the respondent no.2 institute. The petitioner claim to be belonging to "Koli Mahadev" - Scheduled Tribe, but since the petitioner could not submit the caste certificate from the competent authority the petitioner has been denied the admission. The petitioner contends that the petitioner had submitted the application before the Sub-Divisional Officer, Beed, which is said to be pending. 3. Mr Alok Sharma, learned Asstt. Solicitor General on behalf of respondents no.1 & 2 states on instructions that one seat is available in the respondent no.2 institute. We, therefore, allow this petition and direct respondent no.2 to give provisional admission to the petitioner in the 6th standard, subject to the caste certificate to be issued by the respondent - Sub-Divisional Officer. We also direct the Sub-Divisional Officer to decide the application submitted by the petitioner, in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks from today. 3 4. Rule is thus made absolute on th above terms with no order as to costs. 5. Copy of this judgment duly authenticated by Sheristedar of this Court be provided to the parties to act upon. (N.D.
