DATED : 4TH OCTOBER, 2011 ORAL ORDER: 1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. Heard finally, by consent of the parties. 2. The petitioner has approached this Court, being aggrieved by the order passed by the Scrutiny Committee, invalidating the claim of the petitioner of belonging to Pinjari OBC. On the last date, we have directed the learned Assistant Government Pleader to seek instructions from the respondent-Scrutiny Committee, regarding the documents filed by the petitioner alongwith the Civil Application. 3. In the affidavit-in-reply filed by the respondent no.2-Committee, it is stated that the said (2) WP 2656.2011 documents were not produced before the Committee and therefore, the Committee could not consider the same. 4. In that view of the matter, we are inclined to remand the claim of the petitioner for consideration afresh. The impugned order is therefore quashed and set aside. The case of the petitioner is remanded back to the Scrutiny Committee for it's consideration afresh. The petitioner shall produce the additional documents, on which he relies, before the Committee, on the next date, which shall be given due consideration by the Committee. The petitioner to appear before the Committee on 17.10.2011, as such the requirement of formal notice shall stand waived. The Committee shall decide the matter within a period of three (3) weeks from today. Rule is made absolute in the above terms. 5.
