In 2021, the Bombay High Court declared Navneet Rana's caste certificate invalid. Navneet Rana had then moved to the Supreme Court which had stayed the high court's decision. The arguments of both groups in the bogus caste certificate verification case were completed on February 28. The Supreme Court had reserved its verdict in this regard. The final verdict is due today. Today's result will be crucial for Navneet Rana's candidature.

Meanwhile, the verdict in the case will be read out in open court and the results will not be uploaded on the website. The Bombay High Court had ruled that Navneet Rana's caste certificate was fake. Navneet Rana had moved the Supreme Court against this. It was found that Navneet Rana's father had given a fake school leaving certificate for a caste certificate. Also, Navneet Rana and her father were absent from several high court dates. A case has been registered against Navneet Rana and her father at Mulund police station.
