Maharashtra government has moved the Supreme Court challenging the Bombay High Court's order asking persons belonging to various reserved categories across the state to get their caste claims revalidated, as certificates issued to them were "null and void" in the absence of vigilance reports.
A senior officer from the state's Social Justice Department claimed that 32,000 people have been asked to re-validate their caste certificate.u00a0
