The petition can be disposed of at the stage of admission itself. The petitioner is required to approach this court for seeking direction to respondent no.2/Committee to verify and decide the caste claim of the petitioner within stipulated time for the very reason that the petitioner has been given appointment as Postal Assistant on the basis of her caste claim as she belongs to caste Thakur which is scheduled Tribe. We are informed that the respondent no. 2/Committee is not functioning for want of appointment of Vice-Chairman of the Committee. 2 The learned Government Pleader has been kind enough to seek instructions in the matter and inform this court that the matter is pending with the Hon'ble Minister. We expect the respondent no.2/State to act immediately in the matter of appointment of vice-Chairman of Respondent no. 2/Committee and preferably to appoint a vice- Chairman within a period of four weeks so that the Committee becomes functionary and citizens are not put to inconvenience. As soon as respondent no.2/Committee is properly constituted, we direct respondent no.2/Committee to decide the caste claims of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably within three months from the date of its constitution. In the meantime, the respondent no.3 would not terminate the services of the petitioner. We further make it clear that the petitioner would not claim any equity in the matter if her caste claim is invalidated by the respondent no.2/Committee. Petition stands disposed of accordingly.
