FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.5331 OF 2009 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ Heard learned Counsel for the parties. 2 The grievance made in this petition is about the inaction of respondent No.2 of not deciding the caste claim of the petitioner, expeditiously, although the same was submitted on 13th July, 2009. On the other hand, the petitioner is likely to face adverse action of cancellation of his admission in D.Ed. Course and will not be permitted to appear for the examination. 3 In the circumstances, we direct the respondent No.2 Scrutiny Committee to decide the caste claim of the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible and in any case, within three months from today. The petitioner shall appear before the respondent No.2 Committee on 25th March, 2010 at 11 a.m., on which date the Committee may proceed with the hearing of the matter or assign suitable date, and ensure that the caste claim is decided within the specified time. The petitioner through Counsel undertakes to extend full co- operation for early disposal of the caste claim. Till the caste claim is finally decided by the respondent No.2 Committee, no precipitative steps be taken against the petitioner and instead, the petitioner be allowed to pursue D.Ed. course on provisional basis, which however, shall be subject to the outcome of the decision of the respondent No.2 Committee. Petition disposed of on above terms. (S.S. SHINDE, J) (A.M. KHANWILKAR,J) 08.03.2010. PLK/*
