1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR Writ Petition No.103/2010 Sanjay S.Sonparote ...vs.. Scheduled Tribe Certificate Scrutiny Committee, Amravati. __________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Shri V.M.Deshpande, Advocate for petitioner. Shri N.W.Sambre, Advocate for R-sole. CORAM : S.A.BOBDE AND C.L.PANGARKAR, JJ. DATED : JUNE 08, 2010 The petitioner made a claim as belonging to the “Halbi” which falls under the category of Scheduled Tribe. His claim has been invalidated by the Scrutiny Committee on the basis of certain evidence. Shri Deshpande, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though his parental uncle’s certificates show that the family belongs to Halbi tribe, they were ignored by the Scrutiny Committee. He submits that those documents should have been expressly considered by the Committee. The contention appears to be correct. 2 We accordingly consider it appropriate to set aside the order of Committee and remand the matter back to the Scheduled Tribe Caste Scrutiny Committee, Amravati for a fresh hearing in accordance with law. We make it clear that the Committee is at liberty to arrive at its own conclusion after considering the documents. It is for the Committee to decide what appropriate weightage should be given to each piece of evidence before it. The parties shall remain present before the Committee on 21 st June, 2010. The Committee shall decide the matter within four weeks thereafter. With this direction, the petition stands disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE Andurkar.
