( 1 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 4251 OF 2010 Ankush s/o Digambarrao Wayal PETITIONER VERSUS The Vividh Karyakari Seva Sahakari Society Limited RESPONDENT ..... Mr. V.D. Salunke, advocate for the petitioner. ..... [CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J. ] [DATE : 5th May, 2010] PER COURT : 1. Heard counsel. 2. The main objection raised by the petitioner is that the forms were not purchased by the respondents No. 3 to 13 and, therefore, the respondent No. 2 i.e. Returning Officer ought not to have accepted their forms. The counsel would point out the Rules pertaining to the elections of the Society. It appears that the forms were available for sale. The candidates were required to purchase such forms and present them within a specified period. The nomination forms were made available as per ( 2 ) Rule 8 (1) on demand. It appears that Rule 8 (1) only shows that such form was available for Rs. 5/- in the office of the Assistant Register of Cooperative Societies. There is, however, no mandatory provision which required the candidate to purchase the printed forms only. The nomination was submitted in a particular format. The Returning Officer, therefore, held that handwritten nomination forms were also acceptable and hence, the objection of the petitioner was overruled. 3. The petition does not involve any question of interpretation of law in view of the wordings of Rule 8 (1), because the use of only the forms available in the office of the Assistant Registrar, is not mandated. Hence, the petition is dismissed. No costs. [ V.R. KINGAONKAR ] JUDGE NPJ/wp4251-2010
