Heard the learned counsel for the parties. The counsel for the petitioner states that in the present petition, the petitioner is seeking direction to the respondent no.2 to forward the Caste Certificate of the petitioner as well as the documents the petitioner would be submitting in support of his caste claim, to the respondent no.1- Divisional Caste Scrutiny Committee, for verification. It is submitted that since the cut off date i.e. 15th October, 2007 is over, it is not possible for the Committee to accept the case of the petitioner for caste verification. The 2 counsel for the petitioner brought to our notice the order of this Court dated 13th April, 2006 whereby Writ Petition No. 115 of 2006 came to be disposed of wherein, in an identical situation, directions were given to the College to forward the caste claim of the petitioner along with the documentary evidence submitted by the petitioner in the said petition for verification, to the Caste Scrutiny Committee, within two weeks and the Committee was directed to decide the same within a stipulated time. It is also observed in the said order that till the committee finally decides the caste claim of the petitioner, the petitioner was not entitled to seek declaration of the result of the First Semester Examination of B.E. (Computer). The learned counsel for the petitioner has prayed that the present writ petition may also be disposed of in view of the said order. The counsel for the other side have submitted that if the petition is disposed of in terms of the said order, appropriate steps as per the directions given by the Court would be taken. Considering the order passed by 3 this Court referred to above, we dispose of the petition with the direction to the petitioner to submit all the relevant documents, if he so desires, in support of his caste claim, to the respondent no.2- College within a period of one week from today, since the Caste Certificate is already submitted by the petitioner to the College. If such documents are submitted, the respondent no.2- College is directed to forthwith forward the caste certificate as well as other documents, if any, submitted by the petitioner, to the respondent no.1- Committee. The respondent no.1- Committee is directed to decide the caste claim of the petitioner on its own merits according to law, as early as possible. Till such time, the petitioner shall not be entitled for declaration of results of the B.E. First Year. JUDGE JUDGE RMP
