IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 4246 OF 2010 (Smt. Babybai Namdeorao Kohle vs. Gram Panchayat, Sonpur, through its Secretary & Anr.) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. SEPTEMBER 01, 2010. Heard Shri Ghate, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. Munshi, learned counsel for the respondent. A disqualification at pre-election stage was pressed before the Collector in proceedings under Section 14(1)(h) of the Bombay Village Panchayat Act, 1958. The Collector has rejected that application. Mrs. Munshi, learned counsel points out that Election Petition was the only remedy. It is not in dispute that the petitioner had that remedy but did not file Election Petition. In view of the judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of State of Himachal Pradesh vs. Surinder Singh Banolta, reported at 2007 SC 903 and judgment of this Court in the case of Shrikrishna vs. Shivcharan, reported at 2010 (3) Mh. L.J. 281, it is apparent that the petitioner could not have filed such dispute before the Collector. No case is made out warranting any interference. Writ Petition is, therefore, rejected. No order as to costs. JUDGE *GS.
