I had made complaint to District Caste Scrutiny Committee (Maharashtra) 3 years back against false certificate of a person. Till date neither Final order is made on my complaint nor any hearing is done in last 10 months. As per Rule 19 of Caste Validity Rule, 2000 Committee will give its decision within 6 months of complaint filed date. As already gone pass 3 years, can I file petition to High Court to ask Committee to give its decision within next 6 months ?

First file an RTI application asking the reasons for not taking action on your complaint before the said committee. Then file an appeal against the committee to the next higher authority who is the appellate authority also.
