Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Sameer Bandodkar, Addl. Govt. Advocate for the respondents. CORAM : SWATANTER KUMAR, CJ. & N.A. BRITTO, J. Date : 20th November, 2008. P.C. : The Counsel appearing for the respondents submits that it was as a result of a policy decision taken by the State that the petitioner could not be given appointment as the post, in question, was reserved for handicapped rather than for OBC as the OBC posts were already found to be in excess in the prescribed quota, in terms of the Judgment of the Supreme Court. 2. In view of this, the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner does not press this petition at this stage. Withdrawn as such, with liberty to file a fresh petition and prays that the respondents be directed to furnish a copy 2 of the policy decision taken by the State, to the petitioner. 3. The petition disposed of as withdrawn. Liberty, as prayed, granted. The State shall furnish a copy of the policy decision to the petitioner within a period of one week. No order as to costs.
