Perused the order passed by the Scrutiny Committee. We find that all the certificates of the relatives of the Petitioner which were relied upon by the Petitioner are of “Hindu Koli” and none of them is of the “Mahadev Koli”. Only one singular document which is in favour of the Petitioner is of his father wherein in 1954 it has been recorded that the father of the Petitioner belongs to “Mahadev Koli” However that is also after the Presidential order. The Scrutiny Committee, on a consideration of the material produced on record, has rejected the caste claim for cogent reasons. Hence no interference is called for with the impugned order. The above Petition is accordingly rejected. [R.M.SAVANT, J] [S.B.MHASE, J]
