Shri Deshpande, Advocate for respondent No.3) -0-0- CORAM : B. P. DHARMADHIKARI & P. D. KODE, J J. DATED : 01 st August, 2011. Heard, Shri Naik, learned Counsel for petitioner, learned Addl. Government Pleader for the respondent No.2/Divisional Caste Certificates Verification Committee No.3, Shri Jaiswal, learned Counsel for the respondent No.1/ Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Mhasrul and Shri Deshpande, learned Counsel for the respondent No. 3/Swargiya Dadasaheb Kalmegh Smruti Dental College and Hospital. It appears that caste claimed by petitioner is under consideration by respondent No.2/ Divisional 2 Caste Certificates Verification Committee No.3, since 2008. Petitioner has, in the meanwhile, appeared for B.D.S. course part-II examination. As his caste claim is still not verified, her result has not been declared. In the situation, the interest of justice can be met with, by directing respondent No.2/ Divisional Caste Certificates Verification Committee No.3, to expeditiously decide the caste claim of petitioner. Accordingly we direct petitioner to appear before respondent No.2 Committee on 17th August, 2011 and to abide its further instructions in the matter. The respondent No.2/Divisional Caste Certificates Verification Committee No.3, shall attempt to decide caste claim finally, in accordance with the provision of Maharashtra Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, De-Notified Tribes (Vimukta Jatis), Nomadic Tribes, Other Backward Classes and Special Backward Category (Regulation of Issuance and Verification of) Caste Certificate Act, 2000 (Maharashtra Act No.XXIII of 2001), as early as possible and in any case within the period of 3 months from today. This period of 3 months is given because petitioner is due to appear for 3rd year B.D.S. examination in November 2011 and on her undertaking that she will co-operate with respondent 3 No.2/ Divisional Caste Certificates Verification Committee No.3. The respondent No.1/ Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Mhasrul shall declare her result of B.D.S. course Part-II examination and respondent No.3/ Swargiya Dadasaheb Kalmegh Smruti Dental College and Hospital shall permit her to prosecute her studies. However, declaration of result and prosecution of studies shall be subject to further orders of respondent No.2/Divisional Caste Certificates Verification Committee, in the matter. Writ Petition is thus partly allowed. No order as to costs. Rule made absolute accordingly. Certified copy expedited. JUDGE JUDGE Deshmukh
