Miranda had won from ward number 90 in Kalina, reserved for OBC candidates, in the civic elections in February.
However, Bandra district divisional caste scrutiny committee held that she did not fall in the OBC category, and rejected her claim of being an East Indian Catholic.
Miranda’s petition said she belonged to the East Indian Catholic community, an ethno-religious community belonging to OBC category, as recognised by the state.
