DATE : 21st January, 2008 Heard both the sides. It has been brought to our notice that the application moved by the petitioners before respondent No.1 – Collector, Amravati, under Section 44 of the Maharashtra Municipal Councils, Nagar Panchayats and Industrial Townships Act, 1965 for declaring respondent No.3 as disqualified was presented before respondent No.1 – Collector, Amravati, on 20-12-2007. It has been further brought to our notice that the office of Collector has not yet registered the application and obviously has not proceeded to issue notices to the non-applicants therein. In view of this position, we think it expedient to direct respondent No.1 – Collector, Amravati, to decide the said application, if the same is received by his office, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of writ of this Court.
