The petitioner was aggrieved by the order passed by the Scrutiny Committee rejecting her claim that she belongs to Bawa Nomadic Tribe as recognised by the Government of Maharashtra. She was seeking admission in the degree course in Architecture with the J.J. School of Arts against a reserved seat for Nomadic Tribe - Bawa. While granting Rule, interim order in terms of prayer clause (b) was also passed by this court on 21/6/1995 and as a result thereof the petitioner came to be admitted to the same course. 2. In the case of Vashu Chellaram Rajpal vs. The State of Maharashtra and ors. (Writ Petition No.4090 of 1992) a Division Bench of this court dealt with :2: similar claim of Bawa community candidate and by relying upon the decision of the Apex Court in the case of State of Maharashtra and ors. Vs. Kum. Tanuja (1999) 2 SCC 462 allowed the petition by setting aside the view taken by the Scrutiny Committee. 3. During the pendency of the petition, the petitioner has already completed her education and, therefore, we need not look into the social status claim of the petitioner at this stage. In case she desires to seek any further benefits on the basis that she belongs to Bawa Nomadic Tribe, she will have to approach the concerned Scrutiny Committee for adjudication of her claim afresh on the basis of the law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Kum. Tanuja (Supra). 4. We, therefore, dispose off the petition with a direction that in case the petitioner approaches the Scrutiny Committee concerned within a period of two months from today with a request to re-adjudicate her social status claim, the verification of the same shall be done as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of six months from her approach by following the law laid down in the case of Kum. Tanuja. :3: 5. Rule made absolute in terms of the above order. No costs. (D.B. (D.B. (D.B. Bhosale,J.) Bhosale,J.) Bhosale,J.) (B.H. (B.H. (B.H. Marlapalle, J.) Marlapalle, J.) Marlapalle, J.)
