Mr. P.C. Mayure, advocate for the petitioner. Mr. M.M. Nerlikar, advocate holding for Mr. S.T. Shelke, advocate for the respondents No.1 and 2. .... [CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] [DATE : 2nd August, 2010] PER COURT : 1. Heard counsel. 2. The nomination form of the petitioner was rejected on the ground that her signature does not tally with the signatures on other papers and the verification at the bottom of Schedule No. 2. 3. The next ground for rejection of her nomination paper was regarding the absence of the verification in presence of the Returning Officer and moreover, her name does not tally with the name appearing in the caste certificate. 4. Perusal of the relevant documents filed by her at ( 2 ) P-37 and P-38, even on comparison of the signatures would show that the signatures are altogether different and that the petitioner did not present herself before the Returning Officer for the purpose of verification. So also, her name is shown in the caste certificate as “Panchphula” though she claimed herself to be “Kalabai”. She did not clarify the position. No substance is found in the petition. Petition is accordingly dismissed. [V.R. KINGAONKAR] JUDGE NPJ/wp6886-10
