Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the order of the Divisional Commissioner regarding the reservation of the Chande-Kasare Block for elections. The Court noted that the petitioners failed to demonstrate any violation of Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution, as the election schedule had already been declared, creating a constitutional bar to entertain the writ. The Court emphasized adherence to the Maharashtra Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samitis Act, 1961 and the associated rules, affirming the legality of the election process.
