(1) WP 1612.2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 1612 OF 2011 Nagorao S/o Venkatrao Ingole PETITIONER VERSUS The Election Officer, Bhaurao Chavan Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd. Ardhapur and ors. RESPONDENTS ..... Mr. D.J. Choudhari, Advocate h/f. Mr. S.S. Deogude, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. S.V. Kurundkar, Addl. G.P. for the Respondent-State. Mr. Abhijit Choudhari, Advocate for the respondent no.2 Mr. N.R. Pawade, Advocate for the respondent no.3 ..... CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : 4TH MARCH, 2011 ORAL ORDER:- 1. Heard Advocate Shri Choudhari with Advocate Deogude for the petitioner, Shri Abhijit Choudhari for respondent no.2, N.R. Pawade for respondent no.3 and learned Addl. G.P. for respondent no.1. 2. Shri Choudhari states that the petitioner is contesting from two constituencies and hence withdrawal of nomination from the economical weaker section is essential. He points out that unfortunately on the date prescribed for withdrawal, he was hospitalized but then somehow he managed to (2) WP 1612.2011 move application for withdrawal and as it reached respondent no.1 little late, it was not entertained. According to him, in this situation considering the circumstances, this Court should interfere and his request for withdrawal of nomination paper should be granted. 3. Respective counsel appearing for respondent no.2 and 3 are not opposing the Petition. Learned A.G.P. supports the order passed by respondent no.1. 4. It is apparent that the nomination paper duly filled and accepted was attempted to be withdrawn belatedly and the Election Officer has acted in accordance with the election programme. The individual circumstances resulting in late filing of the request for withdrawal of nomination paper are not relevant when the time limit prescribed in election programme is looked into. As I do not see jurisdictional error or perversity, I am not inclined to interfere. Petition is dismissed. Sd/- [B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J.] arp
