Date: 08.06.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. By this writ petition, the petitioner is seeking direction to respondent no.2 - scrutiny committee to decide her tribe claim pending since 29.12.2004 within time frame. She has further prayed for direction to respondent nos.3 & 4 not to take any adverse action against the petitioner, she having failed to submit caste validity WP 6249/10 2 certificate within the stipulated time. This Court, vide order dated 29.9.2010, had granted ad interim relief in terms of prayer clause (D). Keeping that in view and considering the nature of prayers made in the writ petition, we are satisfied that this writ petition can be conveniently disposed of by the following order. Respondent no.2 - scrutiny committee shall decide the petitioner's tribe claim, if not already decided, as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order. The petitioner is directed to produce copy of this order before respondent no.2 - scrutiny committee within a period of three weeks from today. Ad interim order dated 29.9.2010 passed by this Court shall remain operative till the decision on the petitioner's tribe claim is communicated to the petitioner by respondent no.2 - scrutiny committee. Respondent no.2 - scrutiny committee shall decide the petitioner's tribe claim on merits in WP 6249/10 3 accordance with law and uninfluenced by the ad interim order passed by this Court. It is made clear that this Court has not examined the merits of the case. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. (S.B. Deshmukh, J.) (D.B. Bhosale, J.) Dt/- 08.06.2011 ndk/c86113
