The only prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner is for a direction to the respondent no. 2-Scrutiny Committee to decide the tribe claim of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible. Since the prayer made by the petitioner is innocuous, we dispose of the Writ Petition with a direction to the respondent no. 2-Scrutiny Committee to decide the tribe claim of the petitioner, if pending, as early as possible and positively within a period of nine months from the date of appearance of the petitioner before the Scrutiny Committee. The
