mgn IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE CIVIL JURISDICTION REVIEW PETITION LODGING NO.25431 OF 2009 IN WRIT PETITION NO .6175 OF 2009 Smt. Rekha Balwant Nikam ..Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ..Respondents Mr.Rahul Motkari, for the Applicant Mr.S.S. Bhende, AGP for State. CORAM : F.I. REBELLO & J.H. BHATIA, JJ. DATED : 1ST FEBRUARY, 2010 P.C. The petitioner by the present petition seeks to impugn the order dated 27th August, 2009 wherein the order of the Caste Scrutiny Committee has been upheld and the petition dismissed. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that the learned Bench ignored an old document which shows the petitioner’s father as Mahadev Koli. This was of the year 1954. On the other hand we find there are entries before the Presidential Notification of the real uncle and cousins which show their caste as Hindu Koli. These documents of pre-Presidential Notifications will have greater presumption and evidentiary value than the post-Presidential Notification. 3. It is now sought to be contended that in respect of a relative the caste certificate was validated. We have gone through the order of the Committee. The reasons have been given as to why that certificate could not be considered. 4. In our opinion, no case made out in our Review Jurisdiction. Hence Review Petition rejected. (J.H. BHATIA, J.) (F,I. REBELLO,J.)
