    The Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench) partly allowed the writ petition and quashed the Scrutiny Committee's order invalidating the petitioner's "Tokare Koli" Scheduled Tribe claim. The court remanded the matter back to the Committee to reconsider the claim afresh after verifying the authenticity of newly discovered historical documents (school records and death certificates) that the petitioner presented as evidence of tribal lineage. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
