1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 4778 OF 2011 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 2627 OF 2011 Vishnu s/o Mahaadu Sonar Applicant V E R S U S Vinayak s/o Govindrao Marathe & Ors. Respondents Shri A.N. Nagargoje, Advocate for the applicant Shri V.D. Hon, Advocate for respondent No. 1 CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 21st October, 2011 PER COURT : 1. This civil application seeks leave to amend the writ petition. The petition is filed for challenging certain interim order passed by the learned Collector, Jalgaon, in Disqualification Complaint No. 31 of 2009. During the pendency of this writ petition, the Collector could finally dispose of the Disqualification Complaint and held that the petitioner stood disqualified. The petitioner now wants amendment in the petition for challenging even the final order passed by the Collector. Respondent No.1 is opposing this move, but he is unable to show that because the final order is passed in the Disqualification Complaint, the present petition has become infructuous. 2 2. In my view, if the amendment is allowed, no harm would be caused to the respondents and the petitioner would be saved from filing a fresh petition. I am also of the view that this petition, which is challenging an interim order, can be continued with additional challenge to the final order. 3. The application for seeking amendment is allowed. The petitioner shall cause amendment within two weeks from today and serve copies of the amended petition to the respondents. [A.V. NIRGUDE, J.] snk/2011/OCT11/ca4778.11
