Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner was given admission in first year BAMS course from reserved category i.e. OBC. The petitioner was permitted to appear in the first year BAMS examination which was held in the month of November, 2010. Though the result of the said examination in respect of the other students has been declared, however, the result of the petitioner was withheld since the petitioner failed to submit validity certificate. It is submitted that the caste claim of the petitioner is pending before the Scrutiny Committee for the purpose of verification. It is prayed that direction be given to the Scrutiny Committee to decide the caste claim within a stipulated period and further prayed that 2 direction be given to the Health University to declare the result of the petitioner, provisionally. In view of the above-referred facts, it appears that the caste claim of the petitioner is pending before the Scrutiny Committee and, therefore, it will be appropriate to dispose of the petition by issuing following directions :- The Respondent No.2 -Caste Scrutiny Committee is directed to decide the caste claim of the petitioner in accordance with law and procedure applicable in this regard within a period of six months from today. In the interest of justice, we direct the Health University/Respondent No.3 to declare the result of the petitioner of first year BAMS examination which was held in the month of November,2010. The declaration of result shall be provisional and shall not create any equity in favour of the petitioner and shall be subject to result of the decision in the verification proceedings.
