Suryawanshi for the Petitioner. Mr.S.B. Shetye for Respondent Nos.2. Mrs.V.S. Mhaispurkar, AGP for the State. Mr.Vijay Patil for Respondent Nos.4 and 5. CORAM : S.J. VAZIFDAR, J. DATED : 19TH JANUARY, 2007. P.C. : 1. The nomination was rejected on the ground that the Petitioner had not established that he had migrated prior to 21.11.1961. Prima-facie, it is difficult to fault the Returning Officer’s decision in view of the fact that the Petitioner’s caste certificate was in turn issued on the basis of his father’s caste certificate. The Petitioner’s father’s caste certificate was issued not by the State of Maharashtra but by the State of Uttar Pradesh. 2. In the circumstances, the Writ Petition is dismissed. The Petition was restricted only to the above point. The Petition was therefore entertained by me.
