The petitioner was issued validity certifcate of Koli Mahadev, Scheduled Tribe in between 2005 to 2008. On the basis of the complaint received, show cause notice was issued to the petitioners. The petitioner has replied the said notice. Opportunity is also given to the petitioner for hearing.

All the points agitated by the petitioner can be agitated before the Scrutiny Committee. The Committee will certainly consider all the points agitated by the parties. 3.

The committee shall pass an order as to whether it is convinced to reopen the proceedings or not. Copy of the said order be given to the parties. The petitioner can agitate against said order as may be permissible. It is only after arriving at the satisfaction that the Committee seeks to reopen the proceedings and such order is passed, the proceeding should be reopened.

4.

With this observation, the writ petition is disposed of. All contentions are kept open. No costs.
