On the contrary, it was argued on behalf of the petitioners that the caste certificates in question had neither been challenged nor cancelled till date and still held good. 

Hence no action could be taken against the petitioners on the basis of the certificates.

It was also argued that the case was being investigated by the EOW officials who had no authority to conduct investigation in such matters. The orders were passed accordingly.

Former advocate general Virendra Bhatia and Dr LP Misra, advocate, appeared on behalf of the petitioners.
