Petitioner. versus The State of Maharashtra, Cooperation & Textile Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai-32, Through its Secretary, and 7 others. .. Respondents. ....................... Mr. S.C. Yeramwar, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. S.K. Tambe, Assistant Government Pleader, for respondent nos.1 to 4. ........................ CORAM : B.R. GAVAI & R.M. BORDE, JJ. DATE : 15TH DECEMBER 2010 COURT'S ORDER (Per R.M. Borde, J.) : 1. The grievance made in the petition is in respect of the (2) failure of the Returning Officer to consider the objections raised by the petitioner to the voters' list prepared for the purpose of holding elections to respondent no.8 / Specified Society. 2. It is informed that the voters' list has been finalized on 8th January 2010. It is to be noted that the preparation of the voters' list is integral part of the process of election and no interference is permissible in the process of election once the voters' list is finalized. A useful reference can be made to a decision of this Court, in the case of Mohanrao Anandrao Munde and another Vs. State of Maharashtra and others (2006(6) Mh.L.J. 813), wherein the Division Bench of this Court, relying on the judgment of the Apex Court, in the case of Shri Sant Sadguru Janardan Swami (Moingiri Maharaj) Sahakari Dugdha Utpadak Sanstha, and another vs. State of Maharashtra and others (AIR 2001 SC 3982), has held that once the election process is set in motion, it is not permissible to cause interference in the ongoing process of election. 3. In that view of the matter, no interference is warranted in exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petition is devoid of merit. (3) 4. In the result, the petition is dismissed. ( R.M. BORDE ) ( B.R. GAVAI ) JUDGE JUDGE ......................... bgp/wp1238
