1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR CIVIL APPLICATION W. NO.1761/2009 IN WRIT PETITION NO.1679/2004 (Dr. Prajwalitsingh Pratapsingh Gour vs. State and others) __________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Shri P.C. Madkholkar, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri S.J. Jichkar, Assistant Government Pleader for the respondents. ------- CORAM : S.A.BOBDE AND SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, JJ. DATED : FEBRUARY 3, 2010 Heard learned Counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to appoint him at least temporarily, however, without insisting on the caste validity certificate. There is no dispute that the petitioner claims to belong to “Rajput Bhamta” (V.J.N.T.) Shri Madkholkar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, submits that since this Court has stayed the order invalidating the caste claim of the petitioner and suspended all consequences, the 2 demand of the caste validity certificate is contrary to the order of this Court. We see no merit in the submission since the Rules require a candidate, who claims reservation, to submit a caste validity certificate. The civil application is rejected. All other contentions will be gone into at the time of final hearing of the petition. Hearing of the petition expedited. JUDGE JUDGE khj
