SC Directs Maharashtra Govt To Re-Verify Caste Certificates Granted From July 30,2011 To Aug 31, 2012 [Read Judgment]

Live Law  

The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the State of Maharashtra to re-verify the community certificates, granted to persons claiming to belong to Scheduled Tribes, between the period 30.7.2011 and 31.8.2012. "The exercise carried out in the interregnum period, between 30.7.2011 and 31.8.2012 leaves us, as the High Court, with grave doubt, and we are of the view that no proper exercise could have been carried out, or was carried out given the time frame within which the caste certificates were issued. The certificates during the aforementioned period were granted by the State, in accordance with The Maharashtra Scheduled Tribes Certificate Rules, 2003, framed under Section 6 of the Maharashtra Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, De-notified Tribes, Nomadic Tribes, Other Backward Classes and Special Backward Category Caste Certificate Act, 2000,. The Respondent had challenged before the High Court the caste certificates granted by the State of Maharashtra under the said Rules of 2003 from 30.7.2011, until the enactment of Maharashtra Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, De-notified Tribes, Nomadic Tribes, Other Backward Classes and Special Backward Category Caste Certificate Rules, 2012 on 31.8.2012.
