DATED : 29th June 2005 DATED : 29th June 2005 DATED : 29th June 2005 P.C. : 1. These two petitions are filed by residents of Taluka Palus and Taluka Khanapur, respectively, opposing setting up of the another Taluka known as Kadegaon which has been constituted after merging some villages from these two Talukas. It is submitted that some of the Gram Panchayats had opposed the removal of these villages from the concerned Taluka and creating this Kadegaon Taluka. 2. An affidavit has been filed by one Shri A.P. Choudhari, Joint Secretary, Revenue & Forests Department in both these matters. It is pointed out as to why Taluka Kadegaon was created. It is further pointed out that Taluka Khanapur was a large one with 108 villages and its population was over 2.5 Lakhs. It is also pointed out that the objections were considered under Section 4 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code and there were representations supporting creation of such a Taluka. 3. In a matter like the present one, there are bound to be people with divergent views. It is purely an administrative decision of the State Government which has to be taken by following a certain procedure as laid down in the Land Revenue Code. That procedure has been followed. The objections have been considered and thereafter the decision has been arrived at. This Taluka Kadegaon has been constituted way back in the year 2002. There is no reason to interfere now any more. Both the petitions stand dismissed. (H.L.GOKHALE, J.) (H.L.GOKHALE, J.) (H.L.GOKHALE, J.) (SMT.R.S.DALVI, J.) (SMT.R.S.DALVI, J.) (SMT.R.S.DALVI, J.)
