Heard Shri Borkar, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mrs. Wasnik, learned AGP for respondents No.1 & 2. Shri Borkar, learned counsel points out that nomination paper to contest election from Scheduled Caste reserved constituency was filed on 11.06.2010. The caste validity certificate could not be submitted as it was received on the very date at about 5.30 in the evening. He points out that the nomination paper was rejected on the same date as caste validity certificate was not submitted. It is apparent that when nomination paper was submitted Caste validity certificate was not accompanying it and it was received by the petitioner later on. Shri Borkar, learned counsel has stated that the petitioner had applied for caste validity certificate on 06.05.2010. As per the Government guidelines in this respect, the application is required to be submitted at 2 least six months in advance. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. With liberty to the petitioner to take further appropriate steps in the matter, writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. JUDGE *GS.
