CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. AUGUST 16, 2010. Heard Shri Chopde, learned counsel for the petitioners. He states that as the petitioners do not possess any property, the relevant columns in form of declaration are left blank. Shri Sonare, learned counsel for the respondent has filed reply affidavits and stated that even the other relevant columns are left blank and declaration is not filled in at all. With the assistance of both counsel, I have perused the declaration. Its opening part requiring details of name and address are to filled in. Clause No. (1) dealing with details of conviction, clause (2) dealing with details of moveable and immoveable property and clause (3) dealing with loan obligation, are not filled in at all and are left blank. The petitioners ought to have disclosed that 2 they do not hold any immoveable property as that declaration has got bearing upon qualification to contest. Leaving column blank only indicates refusal to declare the details. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter in writ jurisdiction. With liberty to the petitioners to take such other appropriate measures as are open to them, writ petitions are disposed of. No order as to costs. JUDGE *GS.
