1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO.6394 OF 2005 ___________________________________________________________________ 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 A.B. CHAUDHARI, JJ. DATED : JANUARY 9, 2007 Heard Shri Palshikar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, Shri Ahirkar, learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondent no.1, and Mrs. Deshpande, learned Counsel for the respondent no.2. The petition is directed against the order dated 6.12.2005 passed by the Caste Scrutiny Committee whereby caste claim of the petitioner as belonging to `Halba' (Scheduled Tribe) came to be invalidated. We have considered the contentions canvassed by the respective Counsel for the parties and perused the 2 impugned order. Perusal of the impugned order shows that documents, which are placed on record, particularly dated 4.2.1942 and 28.4.1955 are admission register extracts of the petitioner's paternal grandfather and elder paternal uncle wherein caste mentioned is `Koshti'. In that view of the matter, the conclusion arrived at by the Caste Scrutiny Committee is just and proper and requires no interference. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE khj
