DATE : 13th October, 2015 PER COURT:

The petitioner is seeking directions to the Sub Divisional Officer, Nanded to take decision on the application tendered by him for issuance of tribe certificate certifying that he belongs to Koli Mahadev, Scheduled Tribe.

According to the petitioner, the application is presented in June 2015 claiming tribe certificate, however, the Sub Divisional Officer has not processed the application and has not taken any decision in respect of issuance of certificate. It is the contention of petitioner that his brother is validity certificate holder issued by the competent Scrutiny Committee and as such, this fact itself entitles the petitioner to claim the tribe certificate. In the facts and circumstances, this petition stands disposed of with directions to the Sub Divisional Officer, Nanded,
