1 WP691/11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.691 OF 2011 Meeta B. Pawar ...Petitioner v/s State of Maharashtra and others ...Respondents Mr R.K. Mendadkar for Petitioner. Mr C.R. Sonawane, AGP for Respondents. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND K.K. TATED JJ. DATE : 3RD FEBRUARY 2011. 2 WP691/11 P.C. :- 1] The petitioner by this petition challenges the order passed by the Caste Scrutiny Committee, Ratnagiri holding that the claim of the petitioner that she belongs to Lamani, De-notified Tribe is not valid. Perusal of the order of the Scrutiny Committee shows that the petitioner has not been able to show that the petitioner is domiciled in Maharashtra. The Scrutiny Committee has referred to the caste certificate issued in favour of father of the petitioner on 17th October 1983 by the authorities in the State of Karnataka. The Scrutiny Committee has therefore declined to issue the validity certificate. In the petition, the petitioner has stated that because her tribe is wandering from one place to other and therefore she is not in a position to get any document to prove that she was domiciled in Maharashtra before 21st November 1961. There is no other ground taken in the petition. In view of this therefore, no fault can be found with the order of the Scrutiny 3 WP691/11 Committee. Petition is rejected. Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of this Court. Certified copy expedited. ( JUSTICE D.K. DESHMUKH ) ( JUSTICE K.K. TATED )
