The birth extract of the father of the petitioner which is produced at srl no. 5 shows the caste of petitioner’s father as "Koli" . The caste "Koli" is different and distinct from Scheduled Tribe Mahadeo Koli and is declared as OBC by the State of Maharashtra. The said birth extract is of l945 and carries great probative value . The Scrutiny Committee was right in holding that when the petitioner’s father’s caste is Koli, petitioner cannot claim as belonging to Mahadeo Koli Scheduled Tribe. We do not see any ground to interfere with the order of the Scrutiny Committee. Petition is dismissed.
