Not on Board. 2. The petitioner has filed this petition as he seeks injunction against the respondent State from declaring election to the post on which the petitioner got elected. As his caste certificate was invalidated by the Caste Scrutiny Committee he was required to file a petition challenging the decision of the Caste Scrutiny Committee. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner that petition is pending. In our opinion it will be appropriate on the part of the petitioner to move an interim application in the writ petition filed by him challenging the decision of the -: 2 :- Caste Scrutiny Committee rather than seek this limited relief by filing a separate petition. 3. Therefore, we permit the petitioner to withdraw this petition with liberty to file an interim application in the writ petition filed by him, impugning the decision of the Caste Scrutiny Committee. 4. Hence, this petition is dismissed as withdrawn. (SMT. NISHITA MHATRE,J) (J.N.PATEL,J) .....
