In Brief
The appellants challenged a High Court order directing re-scrutiny of their caste verification by a Scrutiny Committee. The Supreme Court held that while the Committee lacks power of review, the High Court's direction for fresh examination was valid and not a reviewable order. The Court set aside earlier orders of the Divisional Caste Certificate Verification Committee, preserved the status quo of the appellants, and directed completion of verification within six weeks, with the High Court to dispose the writ petition within four additional weeks.
