2. The petitioner has approached this Court since
his claim for grant of Validity Certificate in respect of his
caste i.e. 'Mana' Scheduled Tribe is pending before the
Scrutiny Committee and he is apprehending that his
admission for the Electronics and Telecommunication
Course in the College would be adversely affected.
3. We have observed time and again that it is not in
the hands of the candidates to know as to within how much
time the concerned Scrutiny Committee shall decide their
caste claim. In that view of the matter, we are inclined to
pass the following order.
4. Respondent no.5/Caste Scrutiny Committee shall
decide the claim of the petitioner as expeditiously as
possible and preferably within a period of six months from
today.
5. It is made clear that, till the decision is taken by
respondent no.5/Scrutiny Committee regarding petitioner's
caste claim, Respondent nos. 3 and 4 shall not disturb

admission of the petitioner and shall permit him to
continue his studies. It is further made clear that, if, in the
event, in the intervening period, any examination is held,
the petitioner shall be permitted to appear in the said
examination and his result be declared and further if he
clears that examination, admit him for further terms. In the
event, the order passed by respondent no.5 is adverse to
the petitioner, it shall not be given effect to for the period
of two weeks.
6. Rule is made absolute in the above terms. No
order as to costs.
