1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. WRIT PETITION NO. 4499 OF 2007 Omprakash Bhaskarrao Gharat .vs. The Scheduled Tribe Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee, Amravati. ________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Court's or Judge's orders. Registrars orders. Mr. R.S. Parsodkar, Advocate for petitioner, Mr. N.W. Sambre, Advocate for respondent. CORAM: D.K. DESHMUKH & PRASANNA B. VARALE, JJ. DATED: DECEMBER 15, 2008. By this petition, the petitioner challenges the order passed by the Caste Scrutiny Committee. The Caste Scrutiny Committee has relied on an entry in the school record of the petitioner's father which shows that his caste is Mane Kunbi. The learned Counsel for the petitioner relied on an entry in the Kotwal Book in relation to one person Doma Mana. That entry according to the petitioner relates to his great-grand- father. What is surprising is that the entry in any record in relation to petitioner's grandfather is not produced by the petitioner anywhere. What is further to be seen here is that the entry relied on by the petitioner which he claims is in relation to his great-grandfather, there only the name recorded is Doma Mana. The grandfather's name of the petitioner is Maroti. No record regarding the petitioner's father and grandfather, i.e. either an entry in the Birth Register or Death Register or Village Register is produced. In our opinion, the most significant document is the record 2 regarding the caste of the father. It is recorded as Mane Kunbi. In our opinion, this entry is enough to sustain the order of the Scrutiny Committee. There is no merit in the petition. It is rejected. JUDGE JUDGE. J.
