Since, according to the petitioner orders were not passed on Ext. P4, this writ petition was filed. 2. The learned Govt. Pleader, on instruction, submits that S.C. & S.T. order has been amended with effect from 31-8-2007 and therefore, a certificate as claimed by the petitioner cannot be issued. 3.

Necessarily, if the enabling order of the Government has undergone an amendment, the final order can only be consistent with the same. WPC No. 31539/07 -2- 4. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 2nd respondent to pass final orders on Ext.
