CORAM CORAM CORAM : : : Bilal Nazki and Bilal Nazki and Bilal Nazki and A.A.Sayed, A.A.Sayed, A.A.Sayed, JJ. JJ. JJ. DATE DATE DATE : April 24, 2009. : April 24, 2009. : April 24, 2009. P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner. Nobody appears for respondent No.1 despite service. Counter affidavit is also not filed by the respondent No.1. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved by an order, dated 31.7.2007 passed by the Caste Scrutiny Committee. The petitioners wanted that the verification of caste [2] certificate in favour of the respondent No.1 should be looked at again as the petitioner contended that the respondent No. 1 did not belong to Kunbi caste, as on the basis of such certificate she was allowed to contest the election of Corporation. The Caste Scrutiny Committee, Nashik rejected the application of the petitioner by impugned order on the ground that Caste Scrutiny Committee had no power to review its own order. 3. We have perused the record. The petitioner has filed photo copies of school leaving certificates of the respondent No.1 and her father. Prima facie the certificate issued in favour of the father of the respondent No.1, one Mr.Gavali Rajaram Shankar as early as in the year 1942 shows his caste as "Hindu Maratha". In respect of another certificate produced on record, the learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the said certificate was issued in the maiden name of the respondent No.1 being Vandana Rajaram Gavali showing her caste as "Hindu Maratha". 4. We are not entering into any controversy to decide the issue as to which caste the respondent No.1 belongs, either Maratha or Kunbi community. But prima facie in the light of material placed on record, we are of the view that the matter needs to be inquired into [3] and, therefore, we allow this writ petition and direct the Caste Scrutiny Committee to entertain the application of the petitioner in the matter and decide it in accordance with law, after giving sufficient opportunity of putting forth her case. 5. Petition is disposed of accordingly. [Bilal [Bilal [Bilal Nazki,J.] Nazki,J.] Nazki,J.] [A.A.Sayed, [A.A.Sayed, [A.A.Sayed, J.] J.] J.]
