1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 6025 OF 2002 Madhuri Shripati Adhatrao ...Petitioner Versus State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondents. Mr. V.A. Madane with Mr. R.K. Mendadkar for the Petitioner Mr. S.R. Nargolkar, Assistant Government Pleader, for Respondents No. 1, 2 and 4. CORAM: V.G. PALSHIKAR, Ag.C.J., & SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATE: JANUARY 27, 2006. P.C.:- 1. With the assistance of the learned counsel appearing for both the sides, we have heard the petition. We have perused the order impugned as passed by the Committee for Scrutiny & Verification of Tribe Claims ("the Committee", for short). It is an order which is based on adequate evidence and sufficient, cogent and legal reasons have been given for invalidating the Caste Certificate earlier obtained by the petitioner. In our opinion, there is no reason to interfere with this order. It is hereby confirmed. 2 2. However, under Government Resolution dated 15th June, 1995, the services of persons, whose Caste Certificate is invalidated, are protected. We have already upheld the order passed by the Committee and consequently, neither the petitioner, nor anybody else claiming through her, can claim any benefit under the certificate which has been invalidated and inoperative, as also confirmed by us. We, therefore, direct that in view of the Government Resolution dated 15th June, 1995, the services of the petitioner will be protected. The petition is accordingly disposed of.
