ladda IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION No.5231 OF 2009 Rani Dattatray Pawar @ Rani Umesh Shinde ..Petitioner. vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors. ..Respondents. Mr R.K. Mendadkar for the Petitioner. Mr C.R.Sonawane, AGP, for Respondent Nos.1,2 and 4. CORAM: D.K. DESHMUKH AND K.K.TATED,JJ DATED: 4TH NOVEMBER,2009 P.C.:- By this petition the petitioner challenges order of the Scrutiny Committee holding that the claim of the petitioner that she belongs to Thakar Schedule Tribe is not well founded. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had relied on validity certificate issued by the Committee in favour of one Dilip Pandurang Pawar, who according to the petitioner is her real uncle and therefore the Scrutiny Committee could not have denied validation certificate in her favour. So far as this aspect of the matter is concerned, admittedly, affidavit of the said Dilip Pawar was not filed before the Committee claiming that he is uncle of the petitioner. Obviously,therefore, that certificate could not have been considered in the absence of any affidavit filed by the person concerned. So far as the other documents are concerned, the Committee has considered them in detail and has given valid reasons for not accepting documents relied upon by the petitioner. The Committee has also considered important document i.e., school record of the great-grand father whose caste is shown Bhat . The Committee has also considered affinity test in its proper prospective. As order of the Committee is well reasoned order, in our opinion, no interference at the hands of this Court is called for. The petition is dismissed. Request is made for continuation of the operation of the ad interim order. As we have found that the caste claim of the petitioner was absolutely fake, operation of the ad interim order cannot be continued. Request is rejected. (D.K. DESHMUKH,J) (K.K.TATED,J)
