1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR WRIT PETITION No.1289/2010 ( Shaikh Wasim s/o Shaikh Jumma .. V/s.. State of Maharashtra, through the Secretary & others ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's order of directions and Registrar's orders --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shri C.A. Joshi, Adv. for petitioner. Mrs. B.H. Dangre, Addl. G.P. for respondent nos.1 and 2. CORAM :- S.A. BOBDE & MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, JJ. DATED :- 9 th SEPTEBMER, 2010. The petitioner has challenged the invalidation of his caste claim as 'Gawli' (Nomadic Tribes B). The Caste Scrutiny Committee has invalidated the caste claim of the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner belongs to 'Musalman Gausi'. Admittedly, there is no such caste as 'Musalman Gausi'. Smt. Dangre, learned Addl. G.P. for respondent nos.1 and 2, submitted that the petitioner had at no point of time made a claim as 'Musalman Gawli' but his claim was that he belongs to Nomadic Tribe i.e. 'Gawli'. However, we are of the view that both these aspects i.e. whether the petitioner can claim that he belongs to 'Musalman Gawli' when he has made a claim only as a 'Gawli' and also whether in fact he is a 'Musalman Gawli' can be considered by the Committee. 2 In the circumstances, we set aside the impugned order dated 6/3/2010 and remand the matter to the Caste Scrutiny Committee for fresh decision in accordance with law. The petitioner may produce such additional evidence as may be advised and the same shall be considered by the Committee in accordance with law. JUDGE JUDGE Tambaskar.
