The petitioner had contested Solapur Municipal Corporation elections as a candidate of the Congress party for an OBC category seat by submitting documents in support of her claim of belonging to \u201cTambat\u201d OBC on the basis of her husband\u2019s and not her father\u2019s caste.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once elected as Corporator, the Caste Scrutiny Committee directed the petitioner to submit caste documents from her father\u2019s side which supported the caste claim of \u201cLohar NT\u201d.
