Orders
Case Summary: WP/3174/2021 - Saurabh S/o Kamlakant Hedau v. State of Maharashtra The High Court of Bombay (Nagpur Bench) allowed the writ petition, quashing the Committee's April 30, 2021 order that invalidated the petitioner's Halbi Scheduled Tribe caste claim. The court found the Committee's reliance on inconsistent caste entries in police vigilance reports unreasonable, particularly when pre-Constitutional documents (1921, 1930) conclusively established Halbi status. The court directed issuance of a valid caste certificate within four weeks, holding that affinity tests cannot override authentic documentary evidence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
