This Court by order dated 19/06/2025 has observed that biological brother of both these petitioners has been granted validity certificate by this Court vide final order dated 06/01/2022, passed in Writ Petition No.133/2022 (Sumit Bhaurao Salunke Vs.

2 917-918.odt of 45 days and the order would be communicated to them on their email addresses.

Present contempt petitions are filed as the claim of petitioners is not yet decided.

It is well settled that once the High Court grants validity certificate in favour of a sibling, the Committee has to issue the validity certificate. We, therefore, direct the Committee to decide the claim of petitioners on 29/08/2025 and issue the validity certificate, so as to enable petitioner Soham to submit it before the College on 02/09/2025. This order is passed in the presence of Law OfÏcer of the Committee.

Both the contempt petitions are accordingly disposed of. (SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE, J.) (NITIN B. SURYAWANSHI, J.) SVH
