Lingayat, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. J.B. Jaiswal, A.G.P. for the respondent no1. CORAM : D.D. SINHA & F.M. REIS JJ. DATE : 30 th APRIL, 2010 . Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.G.P. for the respondent no.1. The grievance of the petitioner is in respect of the communication dated 8/1/2010 issued by the respondent – Engineering College whereby the petitioner is informed to submit the validity certificate within a period of ten days from the date of said communication failing which the admission of the petitioner will be treated as cancelled. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the caste claim of the petitioner has been referred to the respondent – Caste Scrutiny Committee for verification, however, the Caste Scrutiny Committee till this date has not taken any decision in this regard. In absence of the decision by the Caste Scrutiny Committee, the petitioner is not in a position to submit the validity certificate. It is therefore, 2 prayed that the direction be given to the Caste Scrutiny Committee to complete the verification proceedings within a stipulated period and further prayed that till such time the admission of the petitioner may kindly be protected. In view of the above referred facts, it appears that the caste claim of the petitioner is pending with the Caste Scrutiny Committee for verification and in absence of any decision by the committee it is practicably impossible for the petitioner to submit the same within the period mentioned in impugned communication. In the circumstances, we direct the Caste Scrutiny Committee to complete the caste verification proceedings by taking final decision within a period of two months from the date of communication of this order. In the meantime the admission of the petitioner need not be disturbed, if the same is not cancelled earlier. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE Tambaskar.
