The committee, headed by retd Justice Sandip Shinde, set up to expedite the process of granting reservations to the Maratha community and was allotted an office on the seventh floor in the Mantralaya annex building by the Eknath Shinde-led government. The committee was asked to suggest a methodology for issuing OBC certificates to Maratha community members.
