DEVADHAR, JJ. DATED : 15TH JULY, 2008 P.C. : 1. In the petition, there is no prayer made for a direction to the Divisional Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee (‘Caste Scrutiny Committee’ for short) to decide the caste claim of the petitioner. The Caste Scrutiny Committee had instructed the AGP to state before this Court that the petitioner has not been cooperating with the Caste Scrutiny Committee. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has stated before us that the matter has been heard by the Caste Scrutiny Committee and they will be passing the orders. 2. By interim order, we have already granted ad-interim relief in terms of prayer clause (b). The petitioner has also been permitted to appear for examination, but his result has been withheld. In our opinion, therefore, the following order would meet the ends of justice. a) The Caste Scrutiny Committee is directed to pass order expeditiously and in any case within a period of four weeks from today. This order be communicated to the Caste Scrutiny Committee by the petitioner within a period of one week from today. b) Interim order in terms of prayer clause (b) shall continue to operate till the Caste Scrutiny Committee passes the order. c) If the order of the Caste Scrutiny Committee is in favour of the petitioner, there is no question of admission of the petitioner being cancelled. Therefore, in that event the petitioner shall be continued in the College and his result shall also be declared. d) In case the order of the Caste Scrutiny Committee is against the petitioner, then this petition shall be treated as dismissed and on that day the interim order granted by this Court shall stand vacated. 3. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. D.K. DESHMUKH, J. J.P. DEVADHAR, J.
