By this petition, the petitioner seeks a direction that this Court should disqualify the respondent No.5 as an elected member of respondent No.1 - Municipal Council. Obviously, this relief cannot be granted because jurisdiction is conferred by the Act on the authority. The second direction that is sought is that the respondent Nos.3 and 4 be directed to make an order disqualifying the respondent No.5 with immediate effect, but the learned counsel appearing for petitioner is not in a position to point out whether any application is made to the respondent Nos.3 and 4. It is clear that the entire petition is absolutely misoconceived and misdirected. It is rejected. . Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of the Court. . Certified copy expedited. ( D.K. DESHMUKH J.) ( N.D. DESHPANDE J.)
