Tiwari, Brief Holder on behalf of the respondents. By means of this petition the petitioner has sought a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to issue the caste certificate to the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that she is permanently residing in State of Uttarakhand in Pantnagar, Udham Singh Nagar since her birth. Her father is residing in Uttarakhand since 5.3.1974 and is serving under Pantnagar University. The S.D.M. Rudrapur also issued a permanent resident certificate in her favour. The petitioner belongs to O.B.C. as she is Kumhar. The petitioner has filed application for issue of caste certificate before the Tehsildar Kichha, but the Tehsildar is not issuing caste certificate in her favour and he has kept her application with him. Therefore, the respondent No.4 may be directed to decide the application of the petitioner for issue of caste certificate at an early date. Prayer made is innocuous. The respondent No.4, Tehsildar Kichha is directed to decide the application of the petitioner for issue of caste certificate, which is pending before him, in accordance with law/G.O., within two weeks from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With the aforesaid direction the writ petition is disposed of finally. Dated: 29-11-2010 (B.S. Verma, J. ) ISB
