DATED : 26TH APRIL, 2011 ORAL ORDER:- 1. The present Petition has been preferred for a direction to be issued against the respondents no.2 i.e. Caste Scrutiny Committee. The petitioner claims that she belongs to the Tokare Koli caste, which is a scheduled tribe. According to her, her tribe claim is pending before the respondent no.2-Committee since July, 2009. However, the Committee has not taken any (2) WP. 6806.2010+CA decision in the matter. It is in these circumstances, that the petitioner has sought the aforesaid relief. 2. In our opinion, the Petition can be conveniently disposed of by directing the respondent no.2-Committee to decide the tribe claim of the petitioner within eight (8) weeks from today. 3. Accordingly, we pass the following order:- I) The respondent no.2-Committee shall decide the tribe claim of the petitioner within eight (8) weeks from today. II) The University i.e. respondent no.3 shall declare the result of the petitioner for the 1st Year Engineering (Computer course) examination, which was held in November/December-2010. III) In case the results declared by the University indicate that the petitioner was unsuccessful in completing her first and second semester examination for the 1st Year Engineering (Computer course), she will be (3) WP. 6806.2010+CA entitled to appear for re-examination in those subjects for the aforesaid semesters of the 1st Year. IV) However, the direction to the University to declare the results or the order permitting the petitioner to appear for the examination, will not create any equities in favour of the petitioner. 4. Rule made absolute in the above terms. Consequently, Civil Application no. 4623 of 2011 stands disposed of. Sd/- Sd/- [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.] arp
