Since individual service on respondent nos 3 and 4 is effected as is evident from the document filed today, we see no reason why the petition cannot be disposed of immediately. The petitioner has obtained the caste validity certificate. During the process, there was some small delay in getting the certificate and tendering the same and,therefore, it was not accepted. Interest of justice would be served if the rule is made absolute in terms of prayer (a). It is accordingly so made. Prayer clause (a) reads thus: "(a) That, this Hon’ble Court be pleased to exercise its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India and be pleased to issue a writ of certiorary or any other writ, order or direction thereby quashing the operation and effect of the letter dated 28th October, 2005 and directing the respondents to accept caste validity certificate by condoning the delay in submitting the same and directing the respondents to treat the petitioner as regular student of engineering faculty." The petition disposed of.
