Petitioner has challenged decision of respondent no.1 Scrutiny Committee invalidating the caste claim of petitioner that he belongs to “Halba” caste which is a scheduled tribe. Perusal of the record shows that petitioner has not been able to produce even a single pre-1950 vintage document showing entry of any of his blood relations as belonging to “Halba” community. It is clear from record that caste of the petitioner is 2 “Koshti”. Petition rejected. In view of dismissal of main petition, Civil Application No. 4262 of 2008 does not survive for consideration. It is disposed of accordingly. Judge. Judge. hsj
