These Writ Petitions can be disposed of in view of the fact that we have disposed of a group of Writ Petitions bearing Writ Petition No.8413 of 2008 and other companion matters by Order dated 1st September, 2009. We have set aside the Order passed by the Scrutiny Committee on the ground that one Mr.A.V.Hankare, who has been shown as a Member and Research Officer could not have been a member 3 of the Caste Scrutiny Committee for the reasons stated in the said Order. In the present group of Writ Petitions, the Orders passed by the Caste Scrutiny Committee are under challenge and one of the members of the Committee is Mr.A.V.Hankare. Therefore, for the reasons stated in the said Order dated 1st September, 2009, referred to above, the impugned Orders of the Caste Scrutiny Committee are not sustainable in law. Therefore, we quash and set aside the Orders passed by the Scrutiny Committee and remit back the matters to the Scrutiny Committee for a denovo consideration before a properly constituted Scrutiny Committee. 2. With the aforesaid directions, the above Writ Petitions are disposed of. ( R.M.SAVANT, J.) ( S.B.MHASE, J. )
