The petition has been filed against the order dated 26.2.2009 by which the order passed by the Tehsildar, Palghar on 29.12.2008 has been quashed. The controversy in this petition was whether Respondent No.4 had submitted her application for verification of her caste claim prior to filling in her nomination form. On consideration of the records of both the scrutiny committee constituted under the Maharashtra Scheduled Casts, Scheduled Tribes, Denotified Tribes (Vimukta Jati), Nomadic Tribes, Other Backward Classes, Special Backward Category (Regulation of Issuance and Verfication of) Caste Certificate Act, 2000 as well as the records maintained by Tehsildar, Palghar, it is apparent that Respondent No.4 had submitted her nomination alongwith the application which she has submitted to the Scrutiny Committee for validation of her caste claim. 2. Petition rejected. The original records may be returned to the learned AGP.
