Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. The petitioner earlier filed W.P.No.24801 of 1995 before this Court, questioning the cancellation of the caste certificate issued by the 1st respondent therein, whereunder this Court by an order dated 03-02-2005, directed the petitioner to move an appeal before the Government and further directed that there shall be stay for a period of four weeks in order to enable the petitioner to file an appeal before the Government. It seems the petitioner filed an appeal on 18-02-2005, but the Government did not pass any orders. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to pass appropriate orders in the Interlocutory Application in the appeal filed by the petitioner within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and there shall be interim stay till then only. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ 02-03-2005 Note: Issue operative portion by wire at party’s costs.
