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 minor petitioner within four weeks. The court held that the officer acted without jurisdiction by demanding pre-constitutional documents not required under the Maharashtra Caste Certificate Act, 2000 and Rules, 2003, and that possession of valid caste certificates by the petitioner's father was sufficient grounds for issuance. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
