Rohan S/O. Santosh Parate vs The Committee For Verification Of S.T. ... on 20 April, 2026

14. As regards the adverse vigilance material, the Scrutiny Committee has firstly erred and thereafter willfully persisted in relying upon the school record dated 03.07.1951 pertaining to one 'Ram Kisan' showing caste as 'Koshti'. A bare perusal of the family tree of the petitioner shows that the petitioner's ancestor is 'Kisan' and not 'Ram Kisan'. The said person does not appear anywhere in the genealogy of the petitioner and therefore the said entry has absolutely no bearing on the petitioner's tribe claim. As regards the remaining five adverse entries at Sr. Nos.1 to 5 showing caste as 'Marathi', it is well settled that 'Marathi' is not a caste but a language. The Principal Bench of this Court in Writ Petition Stamp No. 92627 of 2020 (Vilas Dinkar Bhat v. State of Maharashtra & Ors.) has categorically held in paragraph 9 thereof that " the caste recorded as 'Marathi' is not a caste but is a language and, therefore, the said documents or said entries cannot be considered as adverse to the petitioner's claim."
