The petitioner has challenged the decision of the Caste Scrutiny Committee because of which the Principal of the Respondent No.3 college cancelled the admission of the petitioner. It is not in dispute that the petitioner got admission in K.C. college of Engineering to prosecute B.E. Engineering course and the admission was sought in the seat meant for the OBC category, as the petitioner claimed that he belongs to the Kumhar caste which is notified as Other Backward Class, the post on the caste certificate issued to him on 6.6.2005. 2. The caste certificate which is issued by the Sub-Divisional Officer, Thane Division, Thane District clearly mentions that this is issued in the format meant : 2 : for migrants i.e. who have migrated from another State/Union Territory to Maharashtra and it was on the basis of that of his father who is a native of village Khond, District Pali in the State of Rajasthan. 3. In view of the settled law that a migrant cannot avail the benefit of reservation in the State where he has migrated, we are not inclined to entertain the petition. The same is dismissed. 4. Needless to say that it will be open for the petitioner to seek admission to any course in open category to which he is otherwise entitled to. (J.N. PATEL, J.) (SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J.)
