SC stays Bombay HC verdict cancelling caste certificate of independent MP of Amravati

In relief to Independent Lok Sabha MP Navneet Kaur Rana, the Supreme Court has stayed the Bombay High Court verdict which cancelled the caste certificate of the lawmaker.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday stayed the Bombay High Court verdict which cancelled the caste certificate of Navneet Kaur Rana, an independent Lok Sabha MP representing the reserved Amravati constituency in Maharashtra. A vacation bench of Justices Vineet Saran and Dinesh Maheshwari took note of Rana's appeal and issued a notice to Maharashtra and others, including the person who had complained against the caste certificate of the lawmaker. The high court had on June 9 cancelled the caste certificate of Rana saying it was obtained fraudulently using fabricated documents, and had imposed a Rs 2 lakh fine on her.
