1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 8296 OF 2010 Pandurang s/o Ashruba Kale .. PETITIONER VERSUS State of Maharashtra & others .. RESPONDENTS Mr. M.V. Nagargoje, advocate for the petitioner. Mr. N.N. Jadhav, AGP for the State. Mr. T.G. Gaikwad, advocate for respondent. ===== CORAM : R. M. BORDE, J. DATE : 13 th SEPTEMBER, 2010. PER COURT : 1 Nomination paper presented by the petitioner with a view to contest the election for the Managing Committee of the society has been turned down by the Returning Officer on the ground that the petitioner was a defaulter of the society on the day of presentation of the nomination paper. 2 It is the contention of the petitioner that before presentation of the nomination paper, he approached the society with a request to accept the dues, however, the society has refused to accept the amount. After 2 presentation of the nomination paper, it is contended that the petitioner has deposited the due amount. The allegations made by the petitioner in the petition as regards refusal by the society to accept dues cannot be gone into by this court in a petition presented under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Petitioner has efficacious alternate remedy of challenging the election after completion of the process of election. I do not feel that either the Returning Officer or the appellate authority has committed any error in turning down the nomination paper presented by the petitioner. 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/wp8296.10.odt
