CORAM : SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE AND ABASAHEB D. SHINDE, JJ.

DATED : 5 MARCH 2026.

Oral Order (Per Abasaheb D. Shinde, J.) :

1.

Heard.

2.

This petition has been filed for limited purpose of seeking direction to the Scrutiny Committee to decide the tribe claim of the petitioner of belonging to "Koli Mahadev" Scheduled Tribe which is pending since 23.10.2015.

3.

Though the learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that directions may be issued to the respondents for issuance of decree certificate and mark-sheets, we however are not inclined to grant the said relief, since tribe claim of the petitioner is yet to be decided by the respondent Scrutiny Committee.

(2) 936 WP-2361.2026.odt 4.

However, we find that since the tribe claim of the petitioner is pending before the respondent Scrutiny Committee since last more than 11 years, we direct the respondent Scrutiny Committee to decide tribe claim of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible and in any case within a period of three months today.

5.

With this direction, writ petition stands disposed of. (ABASAHEB D. SHINDE) (SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE) JUDGE JUDGE VD_Dhirde
