CORAM : R.M.BORDE & A.M. DHAVALE, JJ.

DATE : 18th JULY, 2018 PER COURT:

1.

Petitioners are possessed of certificates issued by the SubDivisional Officer, Degloor, certifying that they belong to 'Mannervarlu', Scheduled Tribe. However, in the tribe certificates issued to the petitioners, the name of the tribe has been wrongly recorded as 'Mannerwarlu'. As a result of error in recording name of the tribe in the certificates, the Scrutiny Committee, though has accepted online proposals for verification of the caste certificates, has refused to accept hard copies thereof. Petitioners are desirous of securing admission to the educational institution and, under the relevant rules, they are required to submit the proof as regards pendency of verification proposal with the Scrutiny Committee. 2.

In the circumstances, we direct respondent no. 2 - Committee to accept the proposals that would be tendered by petitioners by tomorrow alongwith photostat copies of tribe
