1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 2215 OF 2008 Tuharam Dattu Mahetre. ..... ..... Petitioner. Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ..... ....... Respondents. Mr. S. S. Salunkhe for the petitioner. Mr. V.P. Malvankar, AGP, for Respondent Nos.1 and 2. CORAM : BILAL NAZKI and S. S. SHINDE, JJ. DATED : 23RD JUNE, 2008. P.C.: The grievance of the petitioner is that the elections were held to respondent No.3 Society and non-members were also allowed to vote as their names were published in the voter's list. He filed an application before respondent No.2 on 8th January, 2008 for deleting the names of persons who according to him were bogus voters, who rejected the same for the reasons given by him in the order dated 14th February, 2008. We are told that the elections were held and results were declared on 6th April, 2008. The impugned order has been passed on 14th February, 2008. All these months the petitioner waited to challenge this order. Obviously, since the elections have been held, if there is any grievance about the elections, that can be 2 agitated before the appropriate electoral forum. Even the persons who have been elected are not respondents in this petition. As such this petition is misconceived and is dismissed. 2. However, if the petitioner files the election petition, the same may be decided by the Competent Authority on its own merits uninfluenced by any observations made in this order.
