DATE : 11TH OCTOBER, 2010. PER COURT : 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. This Petition was filed in the year 2005. We have perused the Orders passed by the Division Bench of this Court, (CORAM: P.V. HARDAS AND J.H. BHATIA, JJ.) on 14th September, 2005 and 13th October, 2005. Under the Orders passed by this Court, it is stated that the Petitioner was admitted to the D. Ed. Course. The Petitioner's counsel has not been instructed as to whether the Petitioner appeared before the Scrutiny Committee on 29th October, 2005 and whether the caste claim of the Petitioner has been verified. Learned counsel Shri. Phatke, appearing from the Scrutiny 3 Committee, has not been instructed in respect of the up-to-date status of the matter before the Scrutiny Committee. 3. It is not advisable to wait any further now. We therefore, observe that in case the Petitioner's caste claim is not decided so far, the same be decided expeditiously. If it is already invalidated or in case of invalidation of the caste claim, the consequences flowing from the statute i.e. the Maharashtra Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, De Notified Tribes (Vimukta Jatis), Nomadic Tribes, Other Backward Classes and Special Backward Category (Regulation of Issuance and Verification of) Caste Certificate Act, 2000 would follow. 4. With these observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. [K.K. TATED, J.] [NARESH H. PATIL, J.] asb/OCT10/wp6487.05
