The petitioners in these three petitions are employees of the District Central Co-operative Bank Ltd., Beed. They have obtained employment by contending that they belong to the reserved category. Though, at the time of employment they were directed by the Bank to submit caste validity certificates, it appears that since those were not submitted, the Bank forwarded the caste certificates of the petitioners for validation to the Scrutiny Committee. This was wp5456.10 3 done in the year, 2010. The Scrutiny Committee has not decided the caste claims of the petitioners in these petitions. All petitioners apprehend that their services would be terminated if they did not produce the caste validity certificates by 31st May, 2011. 2. Considering the submissions at the Bar, we deem it proper to direct the Scrutiny Committee to decide the claims of the petitioners within six months from today. Till then, the learned Advocate for the District Central Co-operative Bank Ltd., Beed submits that the Bank will not act on the letter issued to the petitioners informing them that their services would stand terminated automatically if the caste validity certificates are not produced by 31st May, 2011. We accept this statement made by the Counsel for the Bank. Petitions are disposed of. [ S.S. SHINDE, J ] [SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J] ... Kadam/*
