CORAM : MANGESH S. PATIL & SHAILESH P. BRAHME, JJ.

DATE : 3 JULY 2024 PER COURT :

.

Heard.

2.

The petitioners' proposals for verification of the tribe certificates are pending with the respondent/Scrutiny Committee for last ten months.

3.

Considering the fact that going by the genealogy (page no.27), there are several validity holders in the family in both the branches emanating from common ancestors, this coupled with the fact that even one of them Sanket Madhav Shinde was directed to be issued with a certificate of validity by the order of this Court, we dispose of the writ petition by directing the Scrutiny Committee to decide the petitioners' proposals as expeditiously as possible and in any case within four weeks.
