CORAM

: MANGESH S. PATIL & Y. G. KHOBRAGADE, JJ.

DATE : 19th March, 2025 ORDER:

1.

Writ petition no. 1350 of 2025 is not on board. Pursuant to the directions, papers are produced.

2.

The petitioners are challenging common judgment and order whereby the scrutiny committee has refused to validate their Mannervarlu Scheduled Tribe category certificates, dated 13 November 2024.

3.

We have heard both sides finally.

25wp1464-25 4.

Common vigilance inquiry report dated 17.11.2021 forms the basis for deciding both these matters. It is also being pointed out that even Deepak Baburao Bodemwad is one of the nine individuals in respect of whom this common vigilance enquiry has taken place. Deepak had also faced a similar invalidation which was quashed and set aside by the order of this court in writ petition no. 7705 of 2024 on 9 August 2024.

5.

It evident that a common set of evidence has been the subject matter of scrutiny by the Committee as also by the High Court in the matter of Deepak. For the same reasons, as we have been recorded in that matter, these petitions are allowed partly. 6.

The impugned order is quashed and set aside. The committee is directed to issue certificates of validity to the petitioners of 'Mannervarlu' Scheduled tribe, which shall be subject to the final out come of the matters which the committee decided to reopen. 7.

The petitioners shall not be entitled to claim equities. (Y. G. KHOBRAGADE, J.) ( MANGESH S. PATIL, J.) JPChavan
