1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 5490 OF 2006 Kum. Rekha Raghuji Raut vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, JJ. OCTOBER 18, 2007. Heard Shri Wankhede, learned counsel for the petitioner. Writ Petition is directed against the order dated 6.12.2005 passed by the Caste Scrutiny Committee whereby the claim of the petitioner as belonging to Gond Gowari, Scheduled Tribe came to be invalidated. We have considered the contentions canvassed by the learned counsel and perused the impugned order passed. The perusal of impugned order shows that during the course of hearing, the petitioner has admitted before the Caste Scrutiny Committee that she belongs to Gowari/ Wawari Caste. Apart from that the petitioner did not submit old document in respect of her father, grand father, great grand 2 father which has more probative value. In absence thereof and in view of the admission given by the petitioner before the Caste Scrutiny Committee, it is difficult for us to find fault with the order passed by the Caste Scrutiny Committee. In the circumstances, writ petition suffers from lack of merits and the same is, therefore, dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
