2. The Division Bench of this Court at Principal Seat at Bombay in Writ Petition No. 9183 of 2019 filed by Pallavi 2 wp 7832.20 observed as under :

7] The learned Government Pleader submits that since some interpolation is noticed in the school record of father of the Petitioner viz Subhashrao Shivajirao Khanderay and her uncle viz Dilipkumar Shivajirao Khanderay and other blood relations, as reflected in the order impugned, the Committee has issued a show cause notice to them. We find that the Committee has not recorded specific findings as regards possibility of some interpolation. Be that as it may, we have noticed that Petitioner's father Subhashrao Shivajirao Khanderay and uncle Dilipkumar Shivajirao Khanderay and other blood relations have already been granted caste validity certificate. Thus, in our considered view, the reason assigned by the Committee for rejection of the Petitioner's claim cannot be sustained as it runs contrary to the view taken by the Division Bench of this Court in the case of Apoorva Vinay Nichale (supra).

8] In the circumstances, in the light of the law laid down by the judgments in Apoorva Vinay Nichale, Anand, Raju Ramsing Vasave (supra), the Petitioner is entitled to be granted caste validity certificate forthwith. However, the issuance of the certificate shall be subject to the outcome of the show cause notice which has been issued by the Committee against Petitioner's father Subhashrao Shivajirao Khanderay and uncle Dilipkumar Shivajirao Khanderay and other blood relations of the Petitioner as reflected in the order impugned, as the caste validity certificate issued to them is found to be based on interpolation / adverse entries.
