1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 7719 OF 2008 DIST.: PUNE Rajabhau Laxman Wagh ...Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ...Respondents. Mr. Ramesh Dubey Patil i/by M/s. Jay & Co. for the Petitioner Mrs. M.P. Thakur, Assistant Government Pleader, for the State. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and J.H. BHATIA, JJ. DATE: NOVEMBER 26, 2008 P.C.:- The petitioner is aggrieved of an order passed by the Collector under Section 10(1)(2) of the Mumbai Grampanchayat Act, 1958 and Rules 4 and 5 of the Mumbai Grampanchayat (to make division of Ward of Village and to keep Reservation Seat for Woman, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) Rules, 1966. 2. Objections were made by the petitioner, which were 2 considered and rejected. The petitioner attacked the order mainly on the ground that the two wards concerned did not have the equivalent number of population; that the Census of 2001 was taken into consideration; and that no survey was done. 2001 Census is the latest Census available with the State, and, therefore, there could not be better data than the Census of 2001. 3. We do not find any illegality in the order passed by the Collector. The Writ Petition appears to be misconceived, and is dismissed. BILAL NAZKI, J. J.H. BHATIA, J.
