CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A NAIK AND MRS. SWAPNA JOSHI, JJ.

DATED : NOVEMBER 28, 2016.

By this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a direction against the Scrutiny Committee to decide the caste claim of the petitioner within a time frame. The petitioner seeks a direction against the College and the University to protect the education of the petitioner, till his caste claim is decided.

Ms. Khan, the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for the Scrutiny Committee states, on instructions, that the caste claim of the petitioner is pending before the Scrutiny Committee and the same would be decided within fifteen months.

Since the caste claim of the petitioner is still pending, the education of the petitioner needs to be protected.

The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of with a direction to the Scrutiny Committee to decide the caste claim of the petitioner within fifteen months. A direction is issued against the College and the University to protect the education of the petitioner, till his caste claim is decided. This would mean that the petitioner should be admitted to the classes, permitted to appear at the

2 wp4126.16.odt examination and the result of the petitioner should be declared, if there is no other impediment in doing so, till his caste claim is decided. Order accordingly. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande, PA
