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. DATED : AUGUST 13, 2010. Heard Shri F.T. Mirza, learned Counsel for petitioners and learned A.G.P. for respondent no.1. According to learned counsel for petitioners, nomination papers were to be submitted from 03.08.2010 to 07.08.2010 and hence the property tax could have been paid at least by 02.08.2010. He also points out that nomination papers are submitted on 04.08.2010 and the amount has been deposited [as alleged] on 06.08.2010. He is also disputing this amount. 2 Learned A.G.P. points out that the last date for submission of nomination paper was 07.08.2010 and hence the payment of property tax on 06.08.2010 is in accordance with law. He is placing reliance upon the judgment reported at AIR 1984 Bombay 448 (Ramkrishna Vithobaji Pardhi .vrs. W.T. Kamhade and another). It is apparent that payment made on a date prior to last date of nomination has been held to be valid by this Court while interpreting the said provision. The other question, whether payment is made on 06.08.2010 or not, is a disputed question and petitioners can raise it before appropriate forum. Hence no case is made out warranting interference in exercise of writ jurisdiction in the present matters. Writ Petitions are therefore rejected. No costs. JUDGE Rgd.
