Kilor, Adv. for petitioners] CORAM:- S.A. BOBDE & A.B. CHAUDHARI, JJ. DATED :- 06.08.2010 2 Heard. We see no reason to interfere with the impugned action of the Collector in issuing notices since from the averments in the petition, it appears that in fact, there was a requisition signed by 18 persons including the petitioners. There appears to be a subsequent attempt to say that the signatures of the four persons out of eighteen were obtained by force. Prima facie, it appears that this is result of political maneuvering and it cannot be said that the Collector committed any error in acting on the requisition, which had 18 signatures. No police report is lodged by the petitioners alleging coercion in obtaining their signatures. The Writ Petition is, therefore, rejected. No order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE SSW
