( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 5273 OF 2010 Sunita Madhav Swami PETITIONER VERSUS The State of Maharashtra & others RESPONDENTS ..... Mr. S.P. Urgunde, advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.V. Kurundkar, Addl. G.P. for the respondent/State. Mr. S.T. Shelke, advocate for the respondents No. 2 and 4. ..... [CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] [DATE : 18th June, 2010] PER COURT : 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and respondents No. 2 and 4. 2. The petitioner is a candidate whose nomination papers came to be rejected for the reason that necessary document pertaining to the proof regarding filing of application to the Scrutiny Committee for issuance of caste validity certificate was not furnished alongwith the nomination paper. The learned counsel would submit that the acknowledgement receipt was lost and, therefore, it was so mentioned in the affidavit filed alongwith the nomination ( 2 ) form. He would also submit that subsequently, the copy of application was found and was furnished at the time of scrutiny of the nomination form. Hence, he argued that the nomination form could not have been rejected. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the respondents No.2 and 4 that as per the Ordinance No. 5 of 2010, dated 8th June, 2010, the concession is granted as regards compliance of section 10A of the Bombay Village Panchayat Act on certain terms. The proviso indicates that one who has not received the caste validity certificate on the date of filing of the nomination paper, is required to submit the nomination paper, a true copy of the application for issuance of the caste validity certificate or any other proof of having made such application to the Scrutiny Committee. It is obvious that the compliance is required to be made at the time of filing of nomination paper and the subsequent compliance of such condition at a later stage is not permissible. In this view of the matter, the petition is without substance and as such, is dismissed. No costs. [V.R. KINGAONKAR] JUDGE NPJ/wp5273-10
