Beta, Supreme Court only. We check Supreme Court of India judgments only for now: a High Court citation reads "Not in our corpus", which never means it does not exist.

Counted only in the Supreme Court judgments we hold whose text we could read, not in High Court judgments. We match each citation to a judgment automatically, so a citation we cannot match is not counted. "Cited" says only that a judgment refers to this one, not whether it followed, distinguished or overruled it.

The Court's text

Paragraphs from our copy of the Supreme Court Reports print, with the Court's own paragraph numbers, the printed page and, where printed, the margin letter. The Court did not number this judgment's paragraphs, so they are listed by page. Link to paragraph N with #para-N.

This application has been filed to recall the judgment giving various directions; and to substitute in their place the directions sought for in the prayer clause of the application.

p. 1056, margin F

p. 1056, margin G

MADHURI PAT!Lv. ADDL COMMR, TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT, THANE1057 deliberated upon the issue and entrusted the power to issue certificates of social status- to a higher officer, namely, Sub-Divisional Officer, who is expected to objectively go into the question and grant or refuse to grant social status certificates. Accordingly, we reject prayer (a).

p. 1057

As regards prayer (b) read with direction No. (iv) of the Order of this Court, we too appreciate the inconvenience caused due to vast area of the State. Therefore, instead of one committee of three officers, there will be three Scheduled Tribe Caste Scrutiny Committees comprising of five members with quorum of three members, as suggested in paragraph 4 of the direction, to take a decision. At Pune, Nasik and Nagpur, Six Caste Scrutiny Committees for SCs., Denotified Tribes, Nomadic Tribes, Other Backward Classes and the Special Backward Category in existence at Mumbai, Pune Nasik, Aurangabad, Amravati and Nagpur would continue to scrutinise the certificates issued by the respective officers and take decision in that behalf. In this regard, it is also suggested by Shri Dholakia, learned senior counsel for the applicant that in case any certificate has been wrongfully refused by the certificate issuing authority, the aforestated Committees also would go into the question and decide in that behalf, whether refusal was wrongful and in case it finds that the refusal was wrongful, they are at liberty to direct the authority to grant the certificate.

p. 1057, margin A

With regard to prayer ( c) also, we feel that the Caste Scrutiny Committees for Social Welfare, Cultural Affairs and Sports Department should comprise of Additional Commissioner (Revenue) - Chairman of the concerned Revenue Division; Divisional Social Welfare Officer-Member; and Research Officer as a Welfare Officer-Member-Secretary to function in that behalf.

p. 1057, margin E

With regard to prayer ( d), along with the Vigilance Cell, one Research Officer(fribunal Development or Social Welfare Officer would be associated in finding the social status of eligibility of the officers.
