Orders. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : B.H.MARLAPALLE & A.H.JOSHI, JJ DATE : 3.10.2008 Heard Mr. Narayan Phadnis, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. V.G.Wankhede, learned counsel for respondent no.1 and Mr. N.W.Sambre, learned Addl. Government Pleader for respondent no.2. 2. The petitioner claims to be employed as Laboratory Attendant under the Zilla Parishad on 9.7.1982 and he was promoted subsequently to the post of Jr. Clerk, Sr. Assistant, Superintendent and Section Officer from time to time. It appears that he has been appointed against a post reserved for Scheduled Tribe as he claims to belong to “Kharia” Scheduled Tribe. He has been called upon by the Zilla Parishad to submit his caste validation certificate and failure to do so he is likely to result in his reversion. He undertakes to approach respondent no.2 – Committee within two weeks with an application supported by all the documents and prays for direction to the Committee to accept the application and adjudicate 2` upon his Tribe claim. 3. We direct the Respondent No.2 Committee to accept the petitioner's application and process the same for verification of his tribe claim that he belongs to “Kharia” Scheduled Tribe. 4. If the petitioner submits such an application within two weeks from today the verification of the petitioner's caste claim be completed as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of six months from today. 5. As was ordered by this Court in W.P.No. 3212/2008 the petitioner's reversion, if any, from the existing post would be set aside and he would be restored to the said post as soon as he submits the validation certificate to the Zilla Parishad. The petition is disposed off in view of the above directions. JUDGE JUDGE patle 3`
