The Bombay High Court has referred to a Larger Bench the question of whether the Caste Scrutiny Committee can recall its own order on grounds of fraud or misrepresentation under the Act of 2000.
The Bombay High Court dismissed a petition challenging Congress MP Shivaji Kalge’s Lok Sabha election, citing lack of legal details and evidence. The petition claimed Kalge was ineligible to contest from the Scheduled Caste seat but failed to provide sufficient proof. The court emphasized the exclusive jurisdiction of the Caste Scrutiny Committee in caste status validation.
