State of Maharashtra and ors ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr Narayan Phadnis, Adv for petitioner. Mr A.D. Mohgaonkar, Adv for R-3 Coram : D.K. Deshmukh and Prasanna B. Varale, JJ Dated : 19th November 2008 Heard Mr Narayan Phadnis, learned counsel for petitioner. Perused the order of the Scrutiny Committee. The Scrutiny Committee has relied upon School record which shows that caste of Balkrushna Ganpat, grand-father of petitioner is “Koshti”. Grievance of the petitioner that disclosure in the vigilance cell report regarding caste of his grand-father could not be replied because the petitioner did not receive notice of hearing, cannot be accepted. This is because the vigilance cell report is of the year 2002; copy thereof was admittedly furnished to the petitioner under notice dated 19.8.2003 and order was 2 passed on 30.4.2004. Therefore, there was ample time with the petitioner to reply. It is obvious that he avoided to file reply, because he had no reply to file. There is no substance in the petition. Petition is dismissed. Judge. Judge. hsj
