6.
In view of the aforesaid order, Civil Application (W) No.974 is rendered infructuous. It is disposed of as such.
WRIT PETITION NO. 6153 OF 2019 It is the contention of the petitioner that the younger brother is granted validity on 26.06.2023 as that of belonging to Scheduled Caste. 2.
In view of the aforesaid submissions, a true copy of certificate of validity is placed on record. As the blood relation of the petitioner holds a validity, we deem it appropriate to quash and set aside the impugned order dated 27.12.2020 thereby rejecting the claim for issuance of validity as that of belonging to Scheduled Caste.
3.
The petitioner is permitted to appear before the respondent - Committee on 08.05.2025 along with the written submissions and affidavit in respect of the claim for grant of validity.
3 / 3 916.wp6153.2019 4.
The Committee shall make every endeavour to decide the claim of the petitioner in any case within a period six months from the date of appearance of the petitioner before it.
5.
The petition, accordingly, stands partly allowed.
