1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 2766/2011. Dr. Alaknanda Ganeshrao Sanap -versus- State of Maharashtra and others. ................................................................................................................................................................... Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's order of directions and Registrar's orders ................................................................................................................................................................... CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI & P.D. KODE, JJ . DATED : JULY 29, 2011. Heard Shri P.C. Madkholkar, learned Counsel for petitioner and Mrs. Joshi, learned Counsel for respondents. With consent of parties, matter is heard finally. After perusal of reply as filed, we notice that the Collector, Buldhana is constituted as “District Appropriate Authority” for the purposes of Pre- Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994. Perusal of the 2 impugned order dated 07.12.2010 reveals that the said order is passed by the Civil Surgeon i.e. respondent no.3. No order is produced before this Court which shows that the Collector, Buldhana has permitted such seal to be put or then ordered suspension of the clinic of petitioner, either interim or finally. The impugned order dated 07.12.2010 is, therefore, without jurisdiction. Hence, the same is quashed and set aside. Writ Petition is accordingly allowed. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE Rgd
