(R.V. Ghuge, J.)

1. Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. With consent of the parties, the petitions are taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself.

2. The petitioners claim to be belonging to “Wani” caste, which falls in Other Backward Classes. The petitioners state that they have taken education from 5th standard till 10th standard from the respondent no.3 Amanvishwa High School, Dhartidhan Society, Garkheda. The school record and especially the Admission Register wrongly maintains the caste of the petitioners as “Lingder” instead of “Wani”. It is further contended that the school leaving certificates issued by the respondent no.3/school bears the entry “Lingder” in the caste column. The petitioners thereafter passed their 11th and 12th standard from the Swami Vivekanand College. However, the school leaving certificates submitted to the College prompted the said college to continue with the same entry “Lingder” relating to the caste of the petitioners.

3. The petitioners further state that since it is wrongly mentioned in their caste column as “Lingder”, the Sub Divisional Officer, Kandhar has issued correct caste certificates to the petitioners on 04/
