233wp1795.09.odt 1 . IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No.1795 of 2009 (Akhil Bhartiya Adivasi Vikas Parishad, New Delhi vs. Union of India and Ors.) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders Coram: D. D. Sinha and F. M. Reis, JJ. Date : 23/03/2010. Heard Mr. M.M.Sudame, Adv. for petitioner, Mr.S.K.Mishra, Assistant Solicitor General of India for Respondent Nos. 1, 9 and 10, Mr.S.R.Deshpande, Adv. for respondent nos. 3 to 5, Mr.N.W.Sambre, Adv. for respondent no.8 and Mr.R.S.Parsodkar, Adv. for Intervenor. Petitioner is an association of Akhil Bhartiya Adivasi Vikas Parishad, New Delhi registered under the provisions of the Indian Societies Registration Act, 1886 having aim and object of securing welfare and propagation of interest of genuine Scheduled Tribe people. The grievance of petitioner is that the Food Corporation of India is not taking any steps in referring the caste certificates of its employees, who have secured employment from the Scheduled 233wp1795.09.odt 2 . Tribe category, to the Caste Scrutiny Committee. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that it is in these peculiar and special circumstances the petitioner has filed present petition in the larger public interest. Mr.S.R.Deshpande, Adv. for the Food Corporation of India has submitted that the Corporation has already issued notices to the employees those who have secured employment on the posts reserved for Scheduled Tribe candidates, to submit caste certificates as well as other documents in support of their caste claim, within a stipulated period, to be forwarded to the Caste Scrutiny Committee for verification, failing which, disciplinary action would be taken against such employees. In view of the above referred statement made by Mr.S.R.Deshpande, Adv. for the Food Corporation of India, it is evident that the Corporation, in fact, would initiate departmental action against its employees those who have secured employment on the posts which were reserved for the Scheduled Tribe candidates and would not submit caste certificates to the Corporation along with necessary documents to substantiate their caste claim, to be forwarded to the Caste Scrutiny Committee within the stipulated period. It is in these circumstances, it appears that the grievance of the petitioner stands redressed. In the 233wp1795.09.odt 3 . circumstances, the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE jais
