Ms Prabha Badadare for the petitioner. Ms S.S.Bhende, Asstt. Govt. Pleader for respondent nos.1 & 2. .... CORAM : A.M. KHANWILKAR AND MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,JJ. DATE : MARCH 30, 2011. P.C.: Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has already filed an appeal as provided under section 37 of the Maharashtra Universities Act challenging the rejection of nomination papers of the petitioner in relation to elections held in February 2011 by Pune University. The petitioner will have to pursue the said remedy to its logical end. The fact that such appeal has not been decided so far can be no ground to entertain this petition for the same relief. Hence, this petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to invite the attention of the appellate authority to this order. We hope and trust the appellate authority shall decide the pending proceedings expeditiously, preferably 2 wp885.11 within six weeks from the date this order is brought to the notice of the authority as the matter pertains to election dispute. Petition disposed of on the above terms. (A.M. KHANWILKAR, J.) (MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,J.)
