Member of Parliament Priya Dutts election to the Mumbai North-Central constituency has been challenged in a petition admitted by the Bombay High Court.The hearing is on March 12.
Citing that his nomination papers for the 2009 General Elections were rejected on frivolous grounds,Indur Chhugani,61,an independent candidate who had filed his nomination from the same constituency,moved the HC in June last year.Chhugani had filed his nominations on April 9,2009.
Khar resident Chhugani alleged,Returning Officer Mahendra Warbhuvan rejected my nomination,stating I had forgotten to fill the name of the constituency.The handbook for returning officers clearly says clerical errors such as writing the wrong election year or the candidates name are not grounds for rejecting nominations.Citing that his nomination papers for the 2009 General Elections were rejected on frivolous grounds,Indur Chhugani,61,an independent candidate who had filed his nomination from the same constituency,moved the HC in June last year.Chhugani had filed his nominations on April 9,2009.

Warbhuvan was returning officer for only the Mumbai North-Central seat.Hence,there was no question of candidates from other constituencies filing nominations with him.After rejecting his nomination,the officer even told Chhugani to file a petition challenging the decision.
Candidates are given two days to appeal a rejection,and must get a written statement why their nomination was rejected.Neither of these facilities was given to me, added Chhugani.
Despite repeated attempts to contact him,Warbhuvan was unavailable for comment.However,an unfazed Dutt said,I do not feel threatened by the petition.The complaint is against the government.I will comply with the orders of the High Court,whatever they may be.

Shiv Sena's Gajanan Kirtikar had also not filed and signed
the Part III (D) of the nomination paper. But his form was
not rejected.
