DATED : 25/02/2026 P. C. :

1.

This Court, upon recording the statement of the learned AGP on instructions, passed an order dated 21/01/2026 directing the Scrutiny Committee to decide the tribe claim of the petitioner on or before 31/01/2026. It is informed across the Bar that the matter has already been heard and that only the final order remains to be passed.

By the present civil application, the respondent-Scrutiny Committee seeks extension of six months' time to decide the tribe claim of the original petitioner. We are not convinced by the

With these directions, the civil application stands disposed of. ( ABASAHEB D. SHINDE, J. ) ( SANDIPKUMAR C. MORE, J. ) VS Maind/-
