Advocate for Petitioners : Mr. Sagar S. Phatale AGP for Respondents: Mr. P.S. Patil .....

CORAM : RAVINDRA V. GHUGE AND SANJAY A. DESHMUKH, JJ.

DATED : 31st MARCH, 2023.

PER COURT :- 1.

The Petitioner's Tokre Koli S.T. validation proceeding has been lodged on 30.9.2022. It is submitted that his biological aunt (father's sister) Geetanjali, has been granted a validity certificate. His cousin grand uncle, Sunil, and his second cousin sister, Vandana, and brother Rasiklal, have been granted validity certificates. Sanjiv is the biological brother of Vandana and Rasiklal, whose daughter Arati has been granted validity certificate, vide judgment dated 22.12.2022, delivered in Writ Petition No. 2193 of 2022.

2.

The learned A.G.P. strenuously opposes this Petition purely on the ground of delay and laches. He submits that if the Petitioner's father was aware that the Petitioner would be seeking admission, on the basis of reservation, he could have moved an appropriate proposal when the Petitioner commenced 11th standard

wp3694.23 -2education. By now, the proposal would have been decided. There are hundred orders of this Court directing the Committee to decide the claims of such students within a time frame. It is becoming a herculean task for the Committee to abide by the orders of this court in view of the volume of directions received from the Court. He, therefore, submits that as the proposal of the Petitioner is at an elementary stage, it would require the committee at least 9 months to decide the said proposal.

3.

In view of the above, this Petition is disposed off. We expect, that the Committee would decide the proposal of the Petitioner, on or before 31.08.2023. The Petitioner shall render wholehearted cooperation and should not seek unnecessary adjournments.
