    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.
