    Case Summary: WP 6637/2022 - Hiraman S/o Shamrao Gharat The Bombay High Court's Nagpur Bench allowed multiple consolidated writ petitions and declared that the petitioners belong to the 'Mana' Scheduled Tribe, invalidating the Scrutiny Committee's rejection orders. The court found the Committee's reasoning—that oldest documents (1911-1916) couldn't confirm "Mana Scheduled Tribe" status, that certain records were unavailable or in poor condition, and that contradictory "Mana Kunbi" entries existed—to be legally unsustainable, as pre-constitutional documents carry greater probative value and no "Kunbi" subcaste exists within Mana cluster notifications.
