Ghatge, AGP for respondent no.1; Mr P.S. Patil, Advocate for respondent no.2. CORAM : P.V. HARDAS AND A.V. POTDAR, JJ. DATE : 31st August 2009 PER COURT : This is a petition by which the petitioner challenges the order passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer, Degloor dated 17.12.2008 rejecting the application of the petitioner for issuance of the caste certificate and also challenges the order of the Scrutiny Committee dated 30.4.2009 allowing the appeal and remitting the matter back to the Committee for a decision afresh. The respondent - Scrutiny Committee permitted the petitioner herein to produce additional documents. 2. We have heard learned Counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the findings of the Sub-Divisional Officer, Degloor we are of the considered opinion that an opportunity ought to be given to the petitioner for placing on record additional documents, particularly the certificate issued to the father of the petitioner. In the light of the fact that the Committee has already remitted the matter back to the Sub-Divisional Officer for a decision afresh, we decline to interfere in the impugned orders. We, however, direct the Sub-Divisional Officer, Degloor to expeditiously decide the application of the petitioner after the petitioner tenders additional evidence. Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed with no order as to costs. ( A.V.POTDAR, J.) ( P.V.HARDAS, J.) amj/wp5763.09
