Anand vs Committee For S.&V. Of Tribe Claims &Ors on 8 November, 2011
5. Relying upon the decision of the Apex Court in the case of
Anand v. Committee for Scrutiny and Verification of Tribe Claims,
reported in 2011 (6) Mh.L.J. (S.C.) 919, more particularly
Para 22 therein, we have no hesitation to hold that the petitioner
had conclusively established his claim for 'Mana Scheduled Tribe'
on the basis of the documents having probative value and there
was no occasion for the Committee to raise a doubt and revoke
the affinity test to hold that the petitioner has failed to establish
his claim. The affinity test has to be applied only as a
corroborative test and it cannot be a substantive evidence.
