Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee, Amravati and others) this Court had directed the process of verification to be completed within a period of one year. It is submitted by the learned Additional Government Pleader that second enquiry by the Vigilance Cell has been proposed.

In aforesaid facts, the writ petition is disposed of by directing the Scrutiny Committee to complete the process of verification within a period of six months from today. Till the process of verification is completed, the services of the petitioner shall not be disturbed for want of validity certificate. Rule is disposed of in aforesaid terms. No costs.
