1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION No. 3508/2010. Ramdhan Narsingh Rathod -: VERSUS :- The Returning Officer for village Panchayat and another. 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 02, 2010. Heard Shri F.T. Mirza, learned counsel for petitioner, Shri Gharote, learned Counsel for Respondent no.2 and learned A.G.P. for respondent no.1. Learned counsel for petitioner contends that petitioner has already stated in his affidavit that all dues are cleared. He further states that amount of Rs. 80/- has been paid on 24.07.2010, but then that amount was also not of arrears and there was no demand bill served upon the petitioner for it. Learned A.G.P. has produced relevant papers to urge that the petitioner himself was Sarpanch and amount was in arrears. Shri Gharote, learned Counsel for respondent no.2 has pointed out two bills both dated 20.10.2009 for 2 house nos. 269 and 235. The bills show arrears of Rs. 1080/- and Rs. 545/- respectively. The chart submitted by the Secretary of Gram Panchayat to the Returning Officer shows that on 23.07.2010 the petitioner was in arrears in relation to House no.234. The subsequent chart dated 26.07.2010 mentions that, that an amount of Rs. 80/- has been paid on 21.07.2010. There is no document before this Court in relation to house no.234. The petitioner claims that he is owing 4 house properties in Gram Panchayat Area. The petitioner himself was Sarpanch and the demand on record show arrears in relation to at least two house properties. It appears that thus disputed questions arise and payment of Rs. 80/- by petitioner is obviously after 23.07.2010 which happens to be a date prior to last date of filing of nomination. I am therefore, not inclined to interfere in writ jurisdiction. Writ Petition is therefore dismissed. No costs. However, petitioner is at liberty to raise appropriate grievance before Competent Authority. JUDGE Rgd.
