Versus The Scheduled Tribe Certificate Scrutiny Committee,Pune Region, & Anr. ........ ..... Respondents. Mr. A. B. Avhad for the Petitioner. Mr. A.L. Patki, Special Counsel for the State. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI and J. H. BHATIA, JJ. DATED : 21ST NOVEMBER, 2008. P.C.: The petitioner has challenged the order of the Caste Scrutiny Committee dated 12th February, 2008 mainly on the ground that certain vital material was not considered by the Committee and this material consisted of caste certificates verified in favour of his real brother and two other cousins. On instructions, the learned Assistant Government Pleader, appearing for the Committee, submits that it appears from the order impugned that this material was available with the Committee but the Committee has not discussed import of this evidence. 2. Since the Committee has failed to consider the importance of vital evidence which the petitioner placed before the Committee to substantiate 2 his claim, we feel that the order of the Committee cannot be sustained and the petition is disposed of at this stage with the consent of the learned Counsel for the parties. 3. In view of the above, the order impugned is set aside. The matter is remanded back to the Committee. The Committee shall take into consideration all the materials placed before it and pass appropriate order after giving a fresh hearing to the petitioner within four weeks after the receipt of the copy of this order. 4. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. Sd/- (BILAL NAZKI, J.) Sd/- (J. H. BHATIA, J.)
