(Oral) The writ petition is filed with the following prayers: “(1) The action of the respondent No.3 in not acting upon Annexure P-1 and P-2, the OBC certificates issued in favour of the petitioner may kindly be held to be illegal.

The issue pertains to the demand for a Certificate to the effect that the petitioner belongs to OBC category. It appears that at the relevant time, there was an enquiry as to whether Brahamin Bhat belonged to OBC. It is seen that during the pendency of the proceedings, enquiry had been completed and now it has been finally held that Brahamin Bhat belongs to OBC. On that basis, the petitioner has also produced Annexure P-10 Certificate dated 2.12.2009 to the effect that he belongs to Brahamin Bhat community and he does not belong to the Creamy Layer category. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of as follows: 3. The petitioner shall be treated to have submitted Annexure P-10, Certificate in time. On the basis of Annexure P-10, Certificate the further action for declaration of completion of the course and result thereof shall be taken within a period of one month from the date of production of a copy of this judgment by the petitioner. 4. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 9th December, 2010 (Justice V.K. Sharma), (tr) Judge. 3
