Ancestral Documents Prevail Over Erroneous Service Records in OBC Caste Verification : Bombay HC Recognizes 'Kshatriya' as Valid OBC Category
Bombay HC rules that documentary evidence of ancestral caste, such as school certificates, must override incorrect service records in OBC classification. The court upheld 'Kshatriya' as a valid OBC category, rejecting the scrutiny committee's reliance on the erroneous 'Telagu' entry, which was deemed a language, not a caste.
