Kambli 1 WP5106.07 IN THE HIGH COURT JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.5106 OF 2007 ... Tejaswini Sanjay Jadhav ...Petitioner v/s. 1.The State of Maharashtra 2.The Scheduled Tribe Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee 3.Competent Authority & Director of Technical Education & Research 4.Principal, Walchand College ...Respondents ... Mr.R.K.Mendadkar for the Petitioner. Mr.V.A.Gangal Special Counsel with Mr.C.R.Sonawane, AGP for State. ... CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH & N.D.DESHPANDE,JJ. DATED: 22nd November,2010 P.C.: 1. By this petition the Petitioner challenges the order dated 25th April, 2007 Kambli 2 WP5106.07 passed by the Scrutiny Committee holding that the claim of the Petitioner that she belongs to Thakar Scheduled Tribe is not valid. 2. We have heard the learned Counsel for both sides. From the record we found that before the Scrutiny Committee there was a document dated 3-9-1949 showing that the caste of the Petitioner’s grand-father Shri Shivaji Yashwant Jadhav was recorded as “Maratha”. Similar entry relating to pre- constitution period was made in relation to blood relatives of the Petitioner. The Scrutiny committee, therefore, came to be conclusion that the caste of the Petitioner is Marahta and not Thakar. 3. The learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioner submitted that there have been validity certificates issued in favour of Kambli 3 WP5106.07 blood-relative of the Petitioner on paternal side by Pune Scrutiny Committee and relying on that the Petitioner should have been given a validity certificate. 4. In our opinion, this submission is not well founded. If some of the blood relatives of the Petitioner on paternal side are given validity certificate wrongly, because proper material was not produced before the Scrutiny Committee, the Petitioner does not become entitled to get a validity certificate on the basis of those validity certificates, when in fact the Scrutiny Committee found that the caste of the Petitioner’s grand-father shown in a document which belongs to pre-1950 period is Maratha. 5. In our opinion, considering the extremely limited jurisdiction of this court Kambli 4 WP5106.07 to interfere with the finding recorded by the Scrutiny Committee, no relief can be granted to the Petitioner. Petition, therefore, fails and is dismissed. Rule discharged. No order as to costs. (D.K.Deshmukh,J.) (N.D.Deshpande, J.)
