It appears that in the application form for MHT-CET-2011 the petitioner had not indicated her caste as scheduled caste and therefore, in the mark sheet for the MHT- CET-2011 examination her caste is not shown as scheduled caste. 2. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.Patil A.G.P. for respondent nos.1 and 2, we direct respondent nos. 1 and 2 to consider the petitioner as belonging to scheduled caste.
