Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr S.R. Narnaware, Adv for petitioners Mr A.Y. Kapgate, Adv for respdts 2,3 Coram: D.D. Sinha and A. P. Bhangale, JJ Dated : 14th March 2011 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for respondents no. 2 and 3. 2. One of the grievances of the petitioners is that though the caste claim of the petitioners is pending before respondent no.1 Committee since 2003, no decision has been taken by the Committee so far and, therefore, direction be given to the Committee to decide the same within a stipulated period in accordance with law. Since the caste claim of the petitioners is yet to be decided by the Caste Scrutiny Committee, learned counsel for the petitioners seeks permission to make representation to respondent-Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Gondia against the order dated 15.11.2010 passed by him. 3. In the backdrop of the above-referred facts and 2 circumstances, we direct respondent no. 1 Committee to decide the caste claim of the petitioners in accordance with law and procedure applicable in this regard within a period of six months from the date of communication of this order. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly with liberty, as prayed for. JUDGE JUDGE joshi
