Autade Advocate for Petitioner. Shri.V.H. Dighe, A.G.P. for Respondent Nos. 1 and 3. Shri.S.T. Shelke Advocate for Respondent No.2. ... CORAM: NARESH H. PATIL AND N.D. DESHPANDE, JJ. DATE : 9TH JULY, 2010. PER COURT : 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2 2. The Petitioner's grievance is that his name was in the voters list of Ward No.6. He had voted in the Assembly election as a resident of Ward No.6. The Petitioner alleges that intentionally, his relatives and supporters have been shown as voters from Ward No.5. The Petitioner was contemplating to contest election from Ward No.6. 3. The learned A.G.P. Shri. Dighe is instructed by responsible officers. The A.G.P. submits that division of Wards and reservation of seats had already taken place in the month of February, 2010. Voters list is prepared based on the Assembly voters list. In restructuring of the Wards, the Petitioner's house is now part of Ward No.5, therefore the Petitioner's name is listed in Ward No.5. 4. The substantive steps in the process of election have been taken. The voters list is already published. At that stage, the Petitioner 3 raised objection, but his objection was turned down on the ground that the objection was not filed within time. Still we heard the Petitioner on merits of his objections. We find that the Petitioner did not raise any objection to the division of Wards. That stage is already over. As the voters list of village panchayat is based on Assembly voters list and according to the restructuring of the Wards, the Petitioner cannot raise any grievance now. The election process well underway. 5. Considering all these aspects of the matter, no interference is warranted in exercise of extra ordinary writ jurisdiction of this Court. The Writ Petition is rejected. [N.D. DESHPANDE, J.] [NARESH H. PATIL, J.] asb/JULY10/wp6000.10
