Mirza Advocate for petitioners. Mr. D.B. Patel, A. G.P., for Res. no.1 to 4. ..... CORAM: S.A. BOBDE & A.B.CHAUDHARI, JJ. DATED : 14 th JULY, _2010. Heard. The petitioners seek a direction to the respondent/State Government for constitution of Municipal Council at Arni, district Yavatmal, by issuing a notification under Section 3(2) of the Municipal Council Act. The main contention on behalf of the petitioners is that the elections in the area which is going to form part of the proposed Municipal Council at Arni are going to be held soon and if the Municipal Council is constituted after six months then there will again be elections which will be a waste of public money. We are of the view that this is purely an administrative matter and the decision 2 when to constitute the Municipal Council is within the discretion of the Government. We may observe that the petitioners may pursue their grievance before the State Government. In this view of the matter, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Petition is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE /TA/ 3
