HC cancels caste certificate of Amravati MP Navneet Rana
The HinduThe Bombay High Court on Tuesday cancelled the caste certificate of Amravati Lok Sabha member Navneet Kaur Rana, saying it was obtained fraudulently using fabricated documents, and also imposed a cost of ₹2 lakh on her. “In our view, since respondent no.3 has obtained the caste certificate fraudulently and got it validated fraudulently from the Caste Scrutiny Committee by producing fabricated and fraudulent documents, such caste certificate is cancelled and stands confiscated,” the bench said. Mr. Adsule had filed a complaint with the Mumbai District Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee, which ruled in Rana’s favour and validated the certificate. It said the scrutiny committee allowed the caste claim in favour of Navneet Rana even though she failed to “discharge her burden by producing authentic and clear evidence”.
