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

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.
