PER COURT : 1 Nomination paper tendered by the petitioner with a view to contest election to the seat of member of village panchayat Lahan, Tq. Ardhapur has been rejected by the Returning Officer for the reason that the petitioner has not tendered the proof of making an application to the scrutiny committee for verification of his caste status. 2 Admittedly, the petitioner has not tendered any proof in that regard. The order passed by the Returning Officer rejecting nomination paper 2 tendered by the petitioner therefore cannot be said to be erroneous. No interference is called for in the petition. Petition stands rejected. 3 Pending civil application, if any, does not survive and stands disposed of. ( R. M. BORDE ) JUDGE dyb/wp7702.10.odt
