Kumbhakoni with Mr. U.B. Nighot for the respondent No.4. CORAM: S.B. MHASE & R.M. SAVANT, JJ. DATED : 11TH SEPTEMBER, 2009. P.C.: 1. Heard learned senior counsel for the applicant. The earlier order, while disposing of the Writ Petition, has been passed on the basis of the concessions given by the learned Advocate in consultation with the parties. The program and the dates which are reflected in the said order were also fixed with the consent of the parties. Now, there is a prayer, either to : 2 : prepone the date of the decision of the said proceeding i.e. prior to 25th September, 2009, and/or postpone the date of the result of the Caste Scrutiny Committee beyond 13th October, 2009, because the petitioner desires to contest the Assembly elections and in either case, if the certificate is invalidated, his election will be affected. 2. We are not concerned with the Assembly elections in the present matter. This matter pertains to the social status claim made by the petitioner. Therefore, we do not find any reason to interfere in the earlier order. In any event, the reason and apprehension put forward by the petitioner is based on his political apprehension and that cannot be a reason to issue directions to the Scrutiny Committee as is requested by the petitioner. We also find that the none of the prayers in the Civil Application can be granted at this stage. The Civil Application is, accordingly, disposed of. Sd/- Sd/- (R.M. SAVANT, J.) (S.B. MHASE, J.)
