With the consent of learned counsel for the parties this petition is heard finally at the stage of admission. 2. This petition impugns order dated 12.09.2008 passed by the Sub Divisional Officer, Udgir and confirmed by the Scrutiny Committee by its order dated 09.01.2009. 3. The Sub Divisional Officer, Udgir had rejected application of the petitioner for issuance of a certificate as belonging to Koli Mahadeo Scheduled Tribe. On account of paucity of documents in support of the claim of the petitioner, the aforesaid order came to be passed. 4. Mr.Rodge, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is now in possession of several documents which would unquestionably establish that the petitioner belongs to Koli Mahadeo Scheduled Tribe. The petitioner, therefore, seeks liberty of this Court for producing additional material before the Sub Divisional Officer. 5. In the result, therefore, we allow this petition, quash and set aside the impugned order and remand the matter back to {3} the Sub Divisional Officer, Udgir for a decision afresh, after giving opportunity to the petitioner to produce documents in support of her claim. This be done by the petitioner within two weeks from today. It is expected that the Sub Divisional Officer, Udgir would decide the application of the petitioner afresh in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. 6. The petition succeeds. Rule is thus made absolute on the above terms with no order as to costs. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] [P.V.HARDAS, J.] drp/wp4787-09
