1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 4621 OF 2007 Sunil Hanseram Chivhe ..... Petitioner. V/s State of Maharashtra and Ors. ..... Respondents. ----- Mr. R.K. Mendadkar for the Petitioner. Mr. C.R. Sonawane, AGP for Respondent Nos. 1, 2 & 4. ---- CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH & V.M. KANADE, JJ. DATE : 8th January, 2008 P.C.: By this Petition, the Petitioner challenges the order of the Scrutiny Committee. The Scrutiny Committee has considered the school record of the uncle of the Petitioner which shows that his caste is Hindu-Koli and not Mahadev- Koli. The Petitioner’s claim was he belongs to Mahadev- Koli Scheduled Tribe. The father of the Petitioner was in service as a postman. The Petitioner has produced service record of the father but has not produced school leaving certificate. When we asked the learned counsel for the Petitioner as to why the school record of the Petitioner’s father was not produced, he replied that the Petitioner’s father did not attend any school. It is inconceivable that father of the Petitioner was in service as a postman and did not attend 2 any school. It is obvious that the school record of the father of the Petitioner must not be supporting the case of the Petitioner and therefore it was suppressed. We do not see any reason to interfere with the impugned order. Petition is rejected. (D.K. DESHMUKH, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.)
