Case brief
What is this about?
Vishnu Vasanta Kamble v. The Assistant Registrar (Animal Husbandary and Dairy, Fisheries) and Tahsil/Returning Officer of Co-operative Societies, Akola and others; WRIT PETITION NO.3021/2024; High Court of Judicature at Bombay, Nagpur Bench; Coram: Smt. M.S. Jawalkar, J.; decided 30/01/2025; co-operative society final voter's list; membership; 10 kms vicinity versus By-laws area of operation; Matsya Vyavasayik Sahakari Sanstha Maryadit, Khadkai, Post Pangri, Taluka Malegaon, District Washim; Patbhandhare Masla, Khadki, Ijara; election programme already declared; petition dismissed, no order as to costs.
What did the court decide?
The petitioner's name in the voter's list was rightly rejected as he is not residing in the villages referred above (Patbhandhare Masla, Khadki, Ijara), i.e., not within the area of operation of the concerned Society as per its By-laws; consequently there is no reason to interfere with the voter's list.
