CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI AND P.D. KODE, JJ. DATE : JULY 21, 2011. Heard Shri A.R. Deshpande, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri Abhay Sambre, learned counsel for respondent no.1 and Shri A.S. Sonare, learned AGP for respondent no.2. AGP Shri Sonare is seeking time to file appropriate reply-affidavit. Advocate Shri Sambre points out that validity of caste claim of the petitioner is still not decided and interim relief granted by this Court in his favour is operating since 4.5.2011. Advocate Shri Deshpande states that the petitioner on 28.7.2011 has received the communication dated 8.7.2011 calling upon him to 2 remove lacune/deficiencies in his application for verification. He states that the petitioner is taking appropriate steps within a period of seven days from today. We find that because of proposed reversion of the petitioner by his employer, the petitioner has approached this court and that order of reversion dated 28.4.2011 has been stayed by this Court. In this situation, we find that interest of justice would be met by directing the petitioner to supply necessary information and to cure deficiencies by 10.8.2011. The petitioner shall appear before respondent no.2 Committee on 10.8.2011 and remove the lacune/deficiencies. Thereafter, the scrutiny committee shall proceed to hear the petitioner in accordance with the provisions of the Maharashtra Act No. XXIII of 2001 and take appropriate decision on merits, as early as possible and in any case, within a period of six months. As the caste validity of the petitioner is still not determined, it is apparent that respondent no.1 cannot revert him. The order dated 28.4.2011 is, therefore, quashed and set aside. However, respondent no.1 is 3 also free to pass appropriate order in this respect after the result of caste verification and dependent upon it. Writ Petition is thus partly allowed. No costs. C.C. expedited. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
