    Case Summary: WP 3773/2026 The Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court allowed Ayush S/o Sharad Pathade's petition seeking restoration of his caste validity proposal, which was rejected by the District Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee on 07.05.2025 for insufficient documentation. The court directed the Scrutiny Committee to reconsider the case afresh on merits, permit the petitioner to submit additional documents, and decide within two months while following proper statutory procedures under the Maharashtra Caste Certificate Act, 2000.
