PER COURT:-
1. The tribe claim of the petitioner as belonging to "Mannervarlu"
Scheduled Tribe is invalidated.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there are 13
validities issued in favour of paternal relatives of the petitioner. The
committee has relied upon the invalidation of one Madhav S/o Govind
Parodwad. The said Madhav S/o Govind is not related to the petitioner.
The Govind Parodwad is the cousin uncle of the petitioner. When
validity was granted to Govind vigilance was conducted and in his case,
he has submitted the genealogy wherein Govind has two sons and a

daughter namely Vinod, Parmeshwar and Vandana. He has nowhere
shown Madhav as his son. The vigilance was also conducted in case of
Govind wherein the contra evidence relied by the committee was
subject matter of consideration. The learned counsel relies on the
judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in case of Apoorva Vinay
Nichale Vs. Divisional Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee No. 1 and
others, reported in 2010 (6) Mh. L. J. 401 to submit that validity
granted to the paternal relatives is a relevant fact.
3. The learned A.G.P. submits that Madhav S/o Govind is related to
the petitioner. His claim was invalidated. The same was suppressed.
There are contra entries on record. The petitioner failed in the affinity
test. The show cause notices are issued to the validity holders relied by
the petitioner.
4. It is not disputed that following paternal cousins of the petitioner
are issued with the validity certificate.
