By this Petition, the Petitioner challenges the order passed by the Caste Scrutiny Committee invalidating her certificate of belonging to a particular caste or tribe. The Scrutiny Committee has considered the entire case in its proper perspective and has observed thus :- "... furnished his enquiry report on 7.3.2005 and pointed out that detailed enquiry have already conducted in the case of applicant’s real sister Ashwini Shahaji Bhat who was invalidated by the Scrutiny Committee, Pune on 27.8.2001." : 2 : ". ... Writ Petition No.2831 of 2002 in the Hon’ble High Court, Mumbai and Hon’ble High Court, Mumbai pleased and rejected the Writ Petition and request for continuation of the ad-interim order is also rejected. ..." 2. In view of the fact that the report of the Scrutiny Committee in relation to the sister of the Petitioner by name Ashwini Shahaji Bhat is upheld by this Court, we see no reason to take any different view and interfere with the order which, after observing the suppression of fact, proceeds to consider the claim of the Petitioner on merits and finds that it does not exist. The invalidation of her certificate is, therefore, proper. No interference is called for. The Petition is rejected.
