Mr.M.R.Lad, for Petitioner. Mr.C.R.Sonawane, AGP for Respondent-State. --- CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH & N.D.DESHPANDE,JJ. DATED: 7th October, 2010 P.C.: 1. By this petition, the petitioner challenges the order of the Scrutiny committee rejecting the claim of the petitioner that he belongs to Khatik scheduled caste. We have heard the learned Counsel appearing for both the sides. We find from the order that the Scrutiny committee has found that the caste in the school pvr 2 WP4562-10 record of the petitioner s father is mentioned as Dhangar and that entry relates to the date 27.10.1943. In our opinion, once it is established that the father of the petitioner is of Dhangar caste, there is no question of petitioner belonging to any other caste. The petition is, therefore, rejected.
