1 wp 4105.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 4105 OF 2011 Juned Manjurkhan Pinjari .. Petitioner Versus 1. The Municipal Corporation, Jalgaon, through Commissioner & ors. .. Respondents Shri Sandeep S. Deshmukh, Advocate for the Petitioner. Shri N. B. Suryawansi, Advocate for the Respondent No. 1. Shri U. S. Malte, Advocate for the Respondent No. 2. Shri Shaikh Naseer, Advocate for the Respondent No. 4. CORAM : S. V. GANGAPURWALA, J. DATE : 15TH JUNE, 2011. PER COURT : . The present petitioner was desirous of contesting election as Member of Municipal Corporation Jalgaon. The nomination paper of the petitioner was rejected on the ground that the name as spelt out in nomination paper did not find place in the voters list. The said order rejecting nomination paper is assailed in the present writ petition. 2 wp 4105.11 2. Shri Deshmukh, the learned counsel for the petitioner contends that in fact, it is just typographical error at the hands of the authority incorporating the name of the petitioner as Juneda in the voters list instead of Juned for which the petitioner cannot be faulted. The petitioner had time and again made application for correction of the same, but the same was not considered. For no fault of the petitioner, the petitioner cannot be deprived of his statutory right. 3. The last date for withdrawal of nomination is also over. It is also fact that the name in which the petitioner had filled in nomination form did not appear in the voters list. The person whose name appears in the voters list only could have filled in nomination form. Even if it is assumed that it is typographical error in the voters list, still the order on that count cannot be faulted. The voters list for the election of a Member of Municipal Corporation is the same as that of election of member of Legislative Assembly. The said list was published prior to 2008. 4. In the light of the fact that the election process is almost over and only voting has remained, the present writ petition could not be entertained. The present writ petition as such is 3 wp 4105.11 dismissed, however, the petitioner can take appropriate steps as permissible for correction of his name in the voters list. [ S. V.
