SC stays Bombay HC verdict on Amravati MP caste certificate
The Hindu
On the next date of hearing the matter will be disposed of, says apex court
In a relief to Lok Sabha MP Navneet Kaur Rana, the Supreme Court on Tuesday stayed the Bombay High Court verdict cancelling the caste certificate of the independent lawmaker representing the Amravati constituency, reserved for the Scheduled Castes. The Bombay High Court had on June 9 cancelled the caste certificate saying it was obtained fraudulently using fabricated documents, and had also imposed a fine of ₹2 lakh on her. A vacation bench of Justices Vineet Saran and Dinesh Maheshwari took note of the submissions of senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the lawmaker, and issued notices to respondents including the State government, District Caste Scrutiny Committee and social worker Anandra Vithoba Adsul who had challenged the veracity of the certificate.More Related News
