1 Lgc IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.4227 OF 2010 Sou Maitri Vivek Keluskar : Petitioner. Versus The Returning Officer & ors. : Respondents. Mr. P M Arjunwadkar for the Petitioner. Mr. Atul Damle for Respondent No.3. Mr. P M Khemani AGP for Respondent No.4. CORAM : R. M. SAVANT, MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, JJ Vacation Court DATED : 14th May 2010 P.C. : Not on Board. Upon production, taken on board. 1 The above Petition takes exception to the order dated 11th may 2010 passed by the Returning Officer rejecting the nomination of the Petitioner. The said rejection is on the ground that the Petitioner’s name does not appear in the voters’ list. The draft voters’ list was published as per the election programme. If the Petitioner did not find his name in the voters’ list, he should have objected to the same and should have got his name incorporated . Having not done so, the Petitioner cannot now contend that the authorities ought to have relied upon the other evidence which is produced by the Petitioner. 2 2. The law mandates that the name of the candidate has to be in the voters’ list so as to entitle him to participate in the election. In that view of the matter, the impugned order passed by the Returning Officer cannot be faulted with. No case for interference is made out. The above Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. (MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.) (R.M.SAVANT, J.)
