JUDGMENT :

S.N. PATHAK, J.

1. The issues involved in all these writ petitions are same, similar and identical and as such they have been tagged and heard together on various dates and are being disposed of by this common order.

PRAYERS IN W.P. (S) No. 3332 of 2017, W.P. (S) No. 3498 of 2017, W.P. (S) No. 3499 of 2017, W.P. (S) No. 3509 of 2017 and W.P. (S) No. 7381 of 2017

2. The writ petitioners have approached this Court with a prayer for a direction upon the respondents to accept their Caste Certificates so submitted by them under BC-I category even though they had filled the form claiming to be belonging to BC-II category owing to the fact that ‘Teli’ and ‘Sundi’ Caste, which were earlier in BC-II category, have now been included into the BC-I category and as such the certificates which are now being issued are being issued for BC-I category and not for BC-II category. Petitioners have further prayed for quashing the final merit list published for appointment to the post of Constable issued by the respondent authorities whereby and whereunder they have not been declared as selected candidates though they have secured more marks than the last selected candidates of the said category
