1]Heard learned counsel for the parties.

2]The petitioner contends that the caste certificate,
which was issued to him on 12.11.2009 was not in the
prescribed proforma. As per the directives of the
committee, he has obtained a fresh caste certificate in
the prescribed proforma on 10.5.2014. The fact, however,
remains that the scrutiny committee has confirmed that
the petitioner belongs to Mochi - scheduled caste
category. The object of production of the caste
certificate and the caste verification certificate is to
ensure that a candidate belongs to a particular reserved
category. Since the petitioner is possessed of the
original caste validity certificate as well as the caste
certificate issued by the competent authority issued on
10.5.2014, presentation of those documents would suffice

the purpose.

3]The respondents shall not consider the application
of the petitioner for securing admission to the
professional courses as invalid merely on account of his
failure to submit the caste certificate, which was issued
to him on 12.11.2009. The certificates, which are being
produced by the petitioner to the respondents, are
sufficient to establish his caste claim.

¶21

4]Considering the facts and circumstances of this
case, the respondents are directed to accept the
preference form of the petitioner togetherwith the caste
validation certificate issued by the committee on
2.5.2013 and the caste certificate issued on 10.5.2014.
5]With the directions as above, the writ petition is
disposed of.
