RESPONDENTS Mr. R.V. Gore, advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.T. Shelke, advocate for respondent nos. 1 and 2. ===== CORAM : R. M. BORDE, J. DATE : 21 st OCTOBER, 2010. PER COURT : 1 Nomination paper tendered by the petitioner with a view to contest the election to the seat of member of the Village Panchayat has been turned down by the Returning Officer for the reason that the petitioner is a defaulter in respect of payment of taxes recoverable by the Village Panchayat. Alongwith the objection letter there was ample evidence in respect of recoverable dues towards taxes from the petitioner. 2 I have perused the original record tendered by the Returning Officer. 2 I am satisfied that the order passed by the Returning Officer does not call for any interference. Writ petition is devoid of substance hence stands rejected. 3 Pending civil application, if any, does not survive and stands disposed of. ( R. M. BORDE, J.) dyb/office/wp9809.10.odt
