In WP(C) 4087/2024 and WP(C) 4440/2024, the petitioners had put to challenge the cancellation of his caste certificate. However, in view of the decision having been taken by the SLSC on 01.02.2024, recommending cancellation of the petitioner’s caste certificate, this Court is of the view that the present two writ petitions have become infructuous. Accordingly, the two writ petitions are dismissed as infructuous. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
