The Supreme Court clarified that the Scrutiny Committee does not possess the power of review, but the High Court's order intended for the Committee to examine the caste verification afresh. The Court set aside the previous orders of the Divisional Caste Certificate Verification Committee while maintaining the High Court's directions regarding verification. The Court directed the Scrutiny Committee to complete proceedings within six weeks and the High Court to dispose of the writ petition within four weeks thereafter, ensuring the status quo for the appellants remains until final disposal.
