CORAM : H.L. GOKHALE & S.R. DONGAONKAR, JJ. DATE : 10TH APRIL 2006 P.C. P.C. P.C. : 1. Heard Mr.Bhangoji for the Petitioner. Mr.More, A.G.P. appears for Respondents No.1 and 2. Mr.Shukla, Manager (Legal) of Respondent No.4 College is present. 2. The Petitioner has been admitted to Respondent No.4 College on the basis that she belongs to Rajput Bhamta Vimukt Jati. Her claim for verification is pending before Respondent No.2. By an order passed by this Court earlier on 17th January 2005 in Writ Petition (L) No.50 of 2005, the Caste Scrutiny Committee was directed to scrutinise the caste claim of the - 2 - Petitioner. Now a grievance is made that her result is not being declared. She has appeared for the first semester of second year examination held in December 2005. That result is required to be declared. 3. In these circumstances, in our view, the proper course will be to direct the Scrutiny Committee to decide the claim of the Petitioner at the earliest. Mr.More seeks time of 6 months. He states that the matter is pending before the Vigilance Committee. In our view, 6 months is on a higher side considering the fact that in the order passed in January 2005, the Committee was directed to decide the claim by April 2005. Even so, on the request of Mr.More we direct the Scrutiny Committee to decide the claim of the Petitioner in 4 months, i.e. by end of July 2006. In the meanwhile, the Petitioner’s result for the examination which she has appeared will be declared, and if she passes the examination, the college will admit her to the next semester. The results of further examinations will also be declared. 4. Petition stands disposed of. (H.L. GOKHALE, J.) (S.R. DONGAONKAR, J.)
