Heard.

The only prayer made by the petitioner is a direction to the Scrutiny Committee to decide the caste claim of the petitioner as early as possible. The petitioner has sought the protection of his education till his caste claim is decided. Shri Patil, the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the Scrutiny Committee, states on instructions that the caste claim of the petitioner would be decided as early as possible and positively within a period of one year.

In view of the statement made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, we dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent-Scrutiny Committee to decide the caste claim of the petitioner within a period of one year from the date of appearance of the petitioner before the

wp1768.14 2/2 Scrutiny Committee. The petitioner undertakes to appear before the Scrutiny Committee on 1st of July, 2015. Since the petitioner is not at fault in not producing the caste validity certificate within the stipulated time, the education of the petitioner is protected till his caste claim is decided. Order accordingly. No costs.
