District Dy.Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Yavatmal and ors. ............................................................................................................................................................... Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's order of directions and Registrar's orders ............................................................................................................................................................... Mr. Soumitra S.Paliwal, Adv. for the petitioner. CORAM : R.M.SAVANT, J. DATED : 5th August, 2011. By the above petition the petitioner takes exception to the order dated 28/7/2011 passed by the respondent no.1 i.e. the District Deputy Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Yavatmal by which order the Appeal filed by the petitioner has been rejected. The petitioner was intending to contest the elections to the A.P.M.C.Digras for which he had filed his nomination. However, the nomination of the petitioner was rejected on the ground that his name does not appear in the voters list. The learned counsel for the petitioner seeks to rely upon Rule 38 and 41 of the A.P.M.C. Rules to contend that the said Rules lay down the eligibility and qualification for participating in the elections. In my view, though the said Rules lay down eligibility and qualification for participating in the elections, the same are circumscribed by the fact that the petitioner’s name has to be in the voters list. In the instant case, the petitioner’s name admittedly does not appear in the voters list and hence his nomination came to be rejected. In my view, no fault can be found with the impugned order. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed. JUDGE chute 0508wp3737.11.odt 2
