Pleader for the respondent nos.1, 2 & 5. 2. This Civil Application is moved by the applicant (original petitioner) in Writ Petition No.7401 of 2008 for fixing a date for final hearing of the Writ Petition. 3. The learned Senior Advocate for the applicant has submitted that 2 caw1140.10 on the earlier occasion, the Writ Petition was fixed for final hearing before the Division Bench consisting of S.B.Mhase & R.M.Sawant, JJ., matter was partly heard, the entire record of the Caste Scrutiny Committee was called, including the Officers of the Committee. However, hearing of the Writ Petition could not be concluded and, thereafter, the Writ Petition was not listed for final hearing and, therefore, the applicant has filed the present Civil Application. It is prayed that in these circumstances, the Writ Petition may kindly be fixed for final hearing. 4. The learned Asstt. Govt. Pleader does not dispute this factual aspect of the matter. 5. We have considered the contentions canvassed by the respective counsel. In the normal course, in view of old Writ Petitions pending for final hearing, we would not have shown indulgence in the present Civil Application moved by the applicant for fixing the final hearing of the Writ Petition which is of the year 2008. However, on the back drop of the above referred facts, it appears that the Writ Petition was fixed for final hearing before the earlier Division Bench and also partly heard by the said Bench, but hearing could not be concluded. In these circumstances, 3 caw1140.10 we direct the office to list Writ Petition No.7401 of 2008 for final hearing on 4.8.2011. 6. Civil Applications is allowed in the above terms. (D. D. SINHA, J.)
