Kumari Madhuri Patil vs Addl. Commissioner on 2 September, 1994

10. The above said view of this Court ceases to be a good law in view of the decision of the Apex Court in the case of Kumari Madhuri Patil and Anr. v. Addl. Commissioner. Tribal Development and Ors. wherein it has been emphasized that each claimant has to stand on his/her own legs and merely because one of the family member's caste claim has been verified, would not by itself be the foundation for validation of the candidate's claim. In the case at hand, the basis for the validation of caste claims of Dashrath, Devram and Rupchand was never adjudicated by a competent Scrutiny Committee and they were all the beneficiaries of the appellate orders which recorded their findings on the superficial evidence and the certificates/documents which could not be accepted as sufficient evidence in support of the tribe's claim. Under the circumstances, none of these validation certificates which the petitioner relied upon before us could be accepted and, therefore, the findings recorded by the Scrutiny Committee do not suffer from any error apparent on the face of the record, warranting our interference.
