1. Heard Shri. Bhupesh Patil, learned counsel for petitioner.
2. The petitioner seeks challenge to the impugned order dated 28th September, 2026, passed by respondent No.1 - District Caste Certificate Scrutiny Committee, Gadchiroli, invalidating the caste claim of the petitioner towards “Zade” (Nomadic Tribe-C).
3. Since the impugned order was passed by the Caste Scrutiny Committee on 28th September, 2026, i.e., after the notification of the Divisional Commissioner as the Competent Appellate Authority for hearing such grievances against the rejection of caste claims, by virtue of the Government Resolution dated 10th August, 2026, Shri. Patil, learned counsel, seeks leave of this Court to withdraw the present petition with liberty to file a statutory appeal before the jurisdictional Divisional Commissioner for redressal of the petitioner’s grievance. Permission granted. 2026:BHC-NAG:13981-DB
108 WP-8647-2026.odt
4. The writ petition is disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty as prayed for. (RAJ D. WAKODE, J.) (URMILA JOSHI-PHALKE, J.) TAMBE Signed by: Mr. Ashish Tambe Designation: PA To Honourable Judge Date: 19/10/2026 10:31:50
