Orders
Summary: The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) allowed the writ petition and directed the Sub-Divisional Officer to issue a Scheduled Tribe caste certificate for 'Koli Mahadeo' to the petitioner within four weeks. The Court held that the officer acted without jurisdiction by demanding pre-constitutional documents beyond what the Maharashtra Caste Certificate Act 2000 and Rules 2003 require, and that valid parental caste certificates are sufficient for issuance. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
