Case Summary: Shaikh Mohd. Yusuf Mohd. Yakub v. State of Maharashtra Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and affirmed the High Court's decision on October 10, 2018. The Court found the Caste Scrutiny Committee was justified in cancelling the appellant's caste certificate issued by the Sub-Divisional Officer on December 31, 2001, as there was insufficient reliable material to prove he belonged to the Shikalgar community. The appellant's school records showing birth in Bombay on June 15, 1948, with education also in Bombay, contradicted his claimed 15-year residency in Satara required for the certificate. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
