The only grievance made by this petition is that the fourth respondent - Regional Caste Validation Scrutiny Committee has not disposed of the petitioner’s application for issuance of caste validity certificate and therefore, respondent no.3 has informed the petitioner that his admission would be cancelled. In the circumstances of the case, therefore, in our opinion, the following order would meet the ends of justice :- 2. Respondent No.4 is directed to dispose of the petitioner’s pending application within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of our - 2 - order by it. Till such time as respondent no.4 hears and disposes of the said application, respondent no.3 shall not cancel the admission of the petitioner and shall permit him to attend classes regularly and appear for examination. If the order passed by the fourth respondent is adverse to the petitioner, effect shall not be given to it for a period of three weeks from the date of communication of the order to the petitioner. Needless to say that all actions taken will be subject to the final decision of the fourth respondent. 3. Petition is disposed of in the aforestated terms. (RANJANA DESAI, J.) (RANJANA DESAI, J.)
