Despite the best efforts of the learned Counsel for the petitioner, respondent no.1 could not be served. 2 3. The prayer of the petitioner in this petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is for issuance of a writ of mandamus and a writ of quo warranto, directing the respondents to accept the nomination form and allow the petitioner to contest the election and to allot her the symbol in the election of Grampanchayat of village Nimbhora, Taluka Kannad, District Aurangabad. Undisputedly, today is the last date for submission of the nomination forms. The election of Grampanchayat, Nimbhora is scheduled on 5.9.2010. Undisputedly also, the name of the petitioner is not included in the voters list. Provisional list came to be published. Thereafter the final voters list also came to be published. In response to a public notice issued in the local newspaper on 13th July, 2010, inviting applications for enrollment of names in the voters list as well as for deletion, correction of the names in the voters list, the petitioner submitted an application for inclusion of her name in the voters list on 16th July, 2010. According to the petitioner, her name has not been included in the voters list as the voters list is as on 30th June, 2010. The election programme came to be declared and as per the election programme the final voters list came to be published on 6.8.2010 and the date for submission of the nomination forms was from 16.8.2010 till 21.8.2010. 4. Undisputedly, the name of the petitioner is not included ion the voters list and any interference at this stage, particularly in the light of the fact that the name of the petitioner has not been included in the voters list would hamper the election which is scheduled to be held on 5th 3 September, 2010. Today being the last date for submission of the nomination forms also, the facts do not warrant any interference in the extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 5. In that light of the matter, there being no merit in the petition, the petition is summarily dismissed with no orders as to costs. (N.D. DESHPANDE, J.) ( P.V.HARDAS, J.) amj/wpst24249.10
