The decision to have headquarters at Palghar is violative of constitutional rights of tribal and backward class people and the other poor people of the region,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioners have also stated that this is a fit case for declaring a separate autonomous district for tribals.<\/p>\n<p>They have urged the court to quash the government&#8217;s decision and restrain the government from shifting the offices from Jawhar to Palghar and having the headquarters of newly created district at Palghar.<\/p>\n<p>They also urged the court to direct the respondents to form a separate tribal district consisting of the scheduled areas of Jawhar, Wada, Vikramgadh, Mokhada, Talasari, Dahanu and parts of Palghar, Sahapur and Vasai which are declared as scheduled areas under the 5th Schedule of the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>The respondents to the petition are Maharashtra government, principal secretaries in department of revenue and forest, tribal development department, Konkan divisional commissioner, and collector and additional collector of Thane district.<\/p>\n<p>The state Cabinet had on June 12 approved the long pending proposal to bifurcate Thane district, following which Palghar is all set to be Maharashtra&#8217;s 36th district.<\/p>\n<p>Eight talukas of Palghar, Jawhar, Mokhada, Talasari, Vasai, Wada, Dahanu and Vikramgadh will now form part of the Palghar district.
