1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 3719/2006 (Smt. Parvati Gaurisnandan Banode Vs. Deputy Director and others ] Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI AND F.M. REIS, JJ. DATE : 28th August, 2009. Heard Shri D.S. Chahande, learned Counsel for petitioner, learned A.G.P. for respondent nos. 3 and 4 and Shri S.M. Puranik, learned Counsel for respondent no.1. Caste claim of petitioner as belonging to Thakur Scheduled Tribe has been invalidated. The learned counsel for petitioner states that only statement of one Mamta, sister of petitioner was recorded and on that basis caste claim has been invalidated. The learned Counsel for respondent Scrutiny Committee points out that, Vigilance Cell authorities found that caste of real brother of petitioner was recorded in 1949 and 1956 as Kori. Similarly caste of her uncle was recorded in 1930 as Kori. He states that in this view of the matter, the affinity test has also been applied and as the affinity and 2 documents both do not support the case of the petitioner, her caste claim was invalidated. We have perused the impugned order. We find that the petitioner has failed to explain how caste Kori has been mentioned against the name of her real brother and her uncle. Before us, Shri Chahande has contended that caste Kori is part of Scheduled Tribe Thakur. There is no such stand before the Scrutiny Committee, even otherwise such arguments cannot be accepted. We therefore, do not find that any case is made out warranting interference. Writ Petition is thus dismissed. No cost. JUDGE JUDGE Rgd
