DESHMUKH & V.M. KANADE, JJ. V.M. KANADE, JJ. V.M. KANADE, JJ. DATED : DECEMBER 19, 2007 DATED : DECEMBER 19, 2007 DATED : DECEMBER 19, 2007 P.C. :- P.C. :- P.C. :- 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner. 2. Perused the order of the Scrutiny Committee. The petitioner’s grandfather’s certificate shows that he does not belong to Rajput Bhamta Caste. Similarly, School Leaving Certificate of the petitioner’s father does not show that he is Rajput Bhamta. Obviously, therefore, the petitioner cannot be Rajput Bhamta. Petitioner relies on a certificate issued by the Executive Magistrate in favour of her father certifying his caste as Rajput Bhamta and also an affidavit filed by her uncle. In our opinion, the Committee after going through the documents submitted by the petitioner has - 2 - rightly invalidated the caste certificate issued in favour of the petitioner as Rajput Bhamta. We do not see any parent error or illegality in the impugned order. 3. Petition is rejected. (D.K. DESHMUKH, J.) (D.K. DESHMUKH, J.) (D.K. DESHMUKH, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M.
