Not on board. Taken on production board in view of the urgency. 2.

The grievance of the petitioner is that his caste validity claim is pending before respondent no. 2 Committee as would be clear from the letter dated 29.02.2008 Exh. B issued by petitioner's Education Institution K.J. Mehta High school and E.Y. Fadol Junior College, Nashik Road. A prayer has been made by the learned counsel for the petitioner to direct the said respondent no. 2 Committee to decide the petitioner's caste validity claim as expeditiously as possible. 3.

Keeping in view the aforesaid limited prayer, we dispose of this petition by directing respondent no. 2 Committee to decide the petitioner's caste validity claim as expeditiously as possible but not later than three months from the date of appearance. While taking the decision, all contentions as may be raised by the petitioner
