was issued against the respondents and all the respondents are duly

      2211WP6509.16-Judgment                                                                    2/2


     2)               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

in the engineering course.

3) Mrs.Tiwari, 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 could be decided within three months.

4) By accepting the statement made by the learned Assistant

Government Pleader, which would be binding on the Scrutiny

Committee, we allow this writ petition. The respondent-Scrutiny

Committee should decide the caste claim of the petitioner within three

months. The petitioner's education is protected till his caste claim is

decided. This would mean that the petitioner should be admitted to the

classes, permitted to attend the classes, appear at the examinations and

the results of the petitioner should be declared, if there is no other

impediment in doing so. Rule is made absolute in the aforesaid terms

with no order as to costs.

Steno copy of this judgment is granted at the request of

the petitioner.
