¶11

The claim of the petitioner for issuance of validity
certificate for “Kunbi” Other Backward Class category has
been rejected by the Scrutiny Committee by an order dated
1.2.2019, which is the subject matter of challenge in this
petition. The petitioner was elected as “Sarpanch” against
the post reserved for Other Backward Class category some
time in the year February 2015 and till this date, he is
occupying the said post.

¶12

2.After going through the order passed by the Caste
Scrutiny Committee and the documents placed on record by
the petitioner in support of the claim, what we find is that
the petitioner has failed to establish the claim for “Kunbi”

¶13

¶14

Other Backward Class category. Two documents are relied
upon, one is the School Leaving Certificate issued in the
name of Narhar Rustamrao and another is the first page of
Service Book in the name of the father of the petitioner.

¶15

3.We are unable to find that the petitioner has
established the relation with Narhar Rustamrao. The service
book entry cannot be considered as an authenticate
document to substantially establish the claim of the
petitioner for `Kunbai” Other Backward Class category.

¶16

4. Writ Petition is dismissed.

¶17

5.We direct respondent no.4-Collector, Washim, to take
immediate steps to issue an order of disqualification to the
petitioner.
