CORAM : B.P.DHARMADHIKARI & P.D. KODE, JJ. DECEMBER 02, 2011. Contention is, respondent could not have rejected nomination paper of petitioner after it was accepted. Shri M.P. Kariya, learned counsel for the petitioner states that subsequent rejection is in back-date on the ground that his nomination paper is not proposed by five proposers. Shri Shyam Ahirkar, learned AGP for the respondent points out provisions of Rule 12 of the Municipal Council Election Rules to urge that when nomination is by independent candidate, it is required to be proposed by five voters. Admittedly, nomination paper of the petitioner is not proposed by five voters and its subsequent rejection after acceptance though wrongful technically, we are not inclined to interfere with the same in extra-ordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petition is rejected. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
