GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 6437 OF 2009 (Y) ==================== Dated this the 3rd day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims that he belongs to Sadhu Chetty, a community classified under the Other Backward Classes. It is stated that his son wants to apply in response to the notification issued inviting applications for the Professional Courses-2009. It is stated that thereupon Ext.P4 application was submitted to the 3rd respondent. Orders have not been passed on Ext.P4. Since the last date for submitting the application with the certificate is expiring, this writ petition has been filed. 2. Evidently, the claim of the petitioner is that he belongs to Sadhu Chetty, an Other Backward Community. Once a claim is made as above, it is for the respondents to conduct any enquiry that they deem fit and pass final orders. True in the course of the enquiry, Exts.P1, P2 and P3 are obviously of relevance. But now that the enquiry has not been completed and orders have not been passed, I leave it to the respondents to conduct an enquiry and pass final orders thereon. 3. In the meantime, taking into account the fact that the last date for submitting applications for entrance examination is expiring, I direct the 3rd respondent to issue a provisional certificate in the format as WPC 6437/09 :2 : prescribed in Ext.P5 on the production of a copy of this judgment. In the certificate itself, it shall be made clear that the same is issued in pursuance to the judgment of this Court and that the same is provisional and subject to the outcome of the enquiry to be conducted. Enquiry as ordered above shall be expedited and completed at any rate within 3 months of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
