Dated : 8th July 2009 2 ORAL JUDGMENT [ Per NARESH H. PATIL, J. ] 1. Heard. 2. The petitioner claims to be belonging to Muslim Tadvi Scheduled Tribe. His claim was invalidated on 11-1-1999 by the Committee for Scrutiny and Verification of Tribe Claims, Nashik. We have perused the documents placed on record. The main contention of the learned Counsel for the petitioner is that along with the petitioner, Caste Verification Committee had even invalidated the caste status of the petitioner's father. It shows non application of mind on the part of the Committee. The Committee has not referred to all the documents submitted on record. 3. We find that the Committee should have referred to all the documents placed on record by the petitioner. Caste claim of the Petitioner's father was not pending before the Committee. We, therefore, find that this matter is required to be remanded back to the Committee 3 for decision afresh. 4. The Order dated 11-1-1999 passed by the Committee for Scrutiny and Verification of Tribe Claims, Nashik is quashed and set aside. The matter is remanded back to the Committee for decision afresh. The petitioner shall appear before the Committee at Aurangabad on 29th July 2009 at 11.00 a.m. From the date of appearance of the petitioner, the Committee shall dispose of the matter within three months. 5. Rule is made absolute as above. ( N.D.DESHPANDE, J.) ( NARESH H. PATIL, J. ) pnk/wp191201
