Orders
The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) allowed Manoj Manoharrao Gomare's writ petition, quashing the rejection of his nomination for a cooperative society committee election. The court held that since the petitioner had only two living children at nomination filing (his third child having died in 2023), he did not meet the disqualification criteria under section 73-CA(1)(f)(viii) of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, following the Full Bench precedent that deceased children are excluded from the count. The court directed acceptance of his nomination, noting he was the sole OBC-category candidate. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
