(K.K.TATED,J.) pvr 2 ca192-wp7776-10 IN THE HIGH COURT JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.7776 OF 2010 Shri.Yuvraj Bajirao Salokhe. ...Appellant vs. 1.The Divisional Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee, Kolhapur & ors. ...Respondents --- Mr.Sameer S.Tambekar, for Appellant. Mr.V.A.Gangal with C.R.Sonawane, AGP, for Respondents. --- CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH & K.K.TATED, JJ. DATED: 31st January, 2011 P.C.: 1. Rule returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of parties. Admittedly, the claim of the petitioner that he belongs to Kunbi Other Backward Class was held valid by the Scrutiny Committee by its order dated 3.6.2010. Admittedly, by order dated 1.7.2010 the Scrutiny Committee has cancelled that order without giving pvr 3 ca192-wp7776-10 any show cause notice to the petitioner and without giving any opportunity of being heard. The learned Counsel appearing for the Scrutiny Committee is not in a position to support this order which is admittedly made in breach of the principles of natural justice. He, however, submits that because there was a fraud involved, this order has been made. In our opinion, the following order would meet the ends of justice:- Order dated 1.7.2010 challenged in the petition is set aside with liberty to the Scrutiny committee to make a fresh order in compliance with the law and principles of natural justice. Rule is made absolute accordingly. No order as to costs. (D.K.DESHMUKH,J.) (K.K.TATED,J.)
