1 wp6363.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE WRIT PETITION NO.6363 OF 2011 Mahadev Basanna Mamhane & Anr. : Petitioners V/s. Dist. Deputy Election Officer, Solapur & Anr. : Respondents .... Ms Anjali Helekar for the petitioners. Mr.Rajesh Behere, Addl. Govt. Pleader for respondent no.1. .... CORAM : D.D. SINHA & A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATE : AUGUST 10, 2011. P.C.: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Addl. Govt. Pleader for the respondent no.1. 2. This Writ Petition is directed against the order dated 14.7.2011 passed by the District Deputy Election Officer whereby the application of the petitioners for deletion of 72 names from the provisional voters' list came to be rejected. It is the case of the petitioners that 71 persons included in the provisional voters’ list on the basis of grant of licence to them as Hamals from the concerned constituency is bad in law since they 2 wp6363.11 are not factually doing the work of Hamals and, therefore, their names should be deleted from the provisional voters’ list. 3. The petitioners have not disputed that these 71 persons were issued licence as Hamals which is the criterion for inclusion of their names in the provisional voters’ list, nothing has been placed before this Court to demonstrate that merely because they are not given work, their licence stands revoked. In the absence of any provisions in this regard, the grievance of the petitioners is devoid of substance and, hence, the petition is dismissed. (D. D. SINHA, J.) (A.R. JOSHI, J.)
