2 All]. Hazi Abdul Hakim Vs. State of U.P. & Ors.
1007
before us. The earlier decision dated
29.06.2011 was in accordance with
Kumari Madhuri Patil's case (supra).

38. In the peculiar facts and
circumstances of this case, it is accordingly
ordered that the caste certificate of the
petitioner as issued in the year 2007 and as
affirmed by the decision of the State Level
Scrutiny Committee dated 29.06.2011 and
consequential order of the Tehsildar, Farenda
dated 16.01.2012, shall stand restored and
the petitioner shall be treated as belonging to
the scheduled tribe. Consequently, the U.P.
Public Service Commission is directed to
consider the candidature of the petitioner in
the
Uttar
Pradesh
Combined
Upper
Subordinate Services Examination, 2010
under the category of scheduled tribe by
holding an interview for the said purpose and
assigning appropriate marks accordingly. If
after calculating marks obtained by the
petitioner, in the said examination, it is found
that he has secured more marks than the last
selected candidate under the scheduled tribe
category or under the general category, then
suitable recommendation shall be made,
accordingly, to the State Government for the
purpose of appointment and the latter shall
offer appointment to the petitioner, either
against an existing available vacancy relating
to the selection of 2010 or against future
vacancy, within a reasonable time. The
consequences shall follow in accordance
with law.

39. Before parting with the case, it
may also be clarified that during the course
of arguments a letter dated 18th June, 2014
of National Commission for Scheduled
Tribes was placed before us by the learned
Additional Chief Standing Counsel, which
refers to certain caste certificates of
scheduled tribes having been issued to
Brahmins,
Nayaks
&
Brahmin
Ojha
community of Uttar Pradesh and based
thereon, he submitted that the State
Government is seized with the matter and an
enquiry is required to be made with regard to
the same. The said letter does not refer
specifically to the case of the petitioner. In
any event, it is always open for the State
Government to conduct such enquiries and
during such enquiry, if some clinching and
conclusive evidence is found to the effect
that the petitioner does not belong to
scheduled tribe, then it shall be open for it to
take consequential actions and in that
eventuality, the appointment offered to the
petitioner, as directed above, shall be treated
to be provisional.

40. It is made clear that these
directions have been issued in the peculiar
facts and circumstances of the instant case
and will not be treated as a precedent.

41. The writ petition is accordingly
allowed.

Constitution
of
India,
Art.-226-Writ
Petition-maintainability-once Civil suit
got dismissed as withdrawn with liberty
to file fresh suit-Writ Petition for same
cause of action-held-not maintainable.

Held: Para-5
Once, the petitioner had filed a suit and
was permitted to withdraw the same
with liberty to file a fresh suit, this does
not entitle him to file a writ petition for
the same cause of action. This issue has
been squarely settled by a Division
Bench of this Court in the case of M/S
Akay Organics Pvt. Ltd. Vs. ONGC and
Ors. reported in 1992 AWC pg. 792
(paras 5 to 7) that relies on the ratio of
Sheonath Dubey Vs. DIOS Mainpuri as
reported in 1985 UPLBEC pg. 1374
(paras 11 to 14).

Case Law discussed:
1992 AWC pg. 792; 1985 UPLBEC pg 1374.

(Delivered by Hon'ble Amreshwar Pratap
Sahi, J.)

1. Heard Sri Prabhat Kumar
Srivastava,
learned
counsel
for the
petitioner.

2. Sri Srivastava has filed two
supplementary affidavits today which are
taken on record.

3. However, before proceeding on
the merits of the case, the Court finds that
the petitioner had filed Original Suit No.
1293 of 2013 on 10th March, 2014. The
said suit was dismissed as withdrawn with
liberty to file a fresh suit on the ground
that the petitioner had failed to serve the
notice under Section 80 of the C.P.C. on
the defendant.

4. This writ petition has been filed
for the same cause of action. Sri
Srivastava states that this was done in an
urgency. The matter was entertained and
the learned counsel was granted time to
file supplementary affidavits.

5. Once, the petitioner had filed a suit
and was permitted to withdraw the same with
liberty to file a fresh suit, this does not entitle
him to file a writ petition for the same cause
of action. This issue has been squarely settled
by a Division Bench of this Court in the case
of M/S Akay Organics Pvt. Ltd. Vs. ONGC
and Ors. reported in 1992 AWC pg. 792
(paras 5 to 7) that relies on the ratio of
Sheonath Dubey Vs. DIOS Mainpuri as
reported in 1985 UPLBEC pg. 1374 (paras

6. The writ petition is, accordingly,
dismissed.
