By this petition, petitioner seeks direction to the respondent College to return the original certificates of the petitioner filed with the College at the time of taking admission. That was in the year 1998. Petitioner has thereafter completed education and has obtained the requisite degree. The only reason given by the respondent College for not returning the certificates is the undertaking given by the petitioner to produce caste validity certificate on its verification by the appropriate committee. . Factually, the caste certificate of the - 2 - petitioner is invalidated and that invalidation is upheld by this Court. There is, therefore, no question of the petitioner filing any validation certificate as the order invalidating the certificate has become final. It is, therefore, necessary that the respondent college return the certificates of the petitioner in original immediately to the petitioner. With this direction, petition disposed of.
