DATED DATED DATED : 8th April, 2009 : 8th April, 2009 : 8th April, 2009 P.C.:- P.C.:- P.C.:- 1. By this Petition, the Petitioner has challenged the order passed by the Scheduled Tribe Certificate Scrutiny Committee, Konkan Division, Thane dated 03/11/2007, by which the Scrutiny Committee has rejected the Appeal filed by the Petitioner and confirmed the order passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer dated 16.06.2007. 2. The Scrutiny Committee independently perused the record and observed in the order that the Appellant has not produced any basic documentary evidence. It is also found by the Appellate Court that even in the School leaving certificate the caste of the Petitioner ( 2 ) is recorded as "Mahadeo Koli" but in the supporting documentary evidence his caste is recorded as "Malhar Koli". There is a discrepancy in the claim and the documentary evidence submitted by the Petitioner. Even the Sub-Divisional Officer also found that the Petitioner herein has not produced the documentary evidence relating to his relationship with his cousin grand brother. Accordingly, considering the evidence on record, the Sub-Divisional Officer as well as, the Scrutiny Committee came to the conclusion that the claim of the Petitioner is not justified. 3. Considering the aforesaid aspect, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned order in our extra ordinary jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. We do not find any merit in the matter. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. (ANOOP (ANOOP (ANOOP V.MOHTA, J.) V.MOHTA, J.) V.MOHTA, J.) (P.B.MAJMUDAR, (P.B.MAJMUDAR, (P.B.MAJMUDAR, J.) J.) J.)
