HOTILAL PARASAR Vs. DIRECTOR OF AGRICULTURE JAIPUR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) PETITIONER Hotilal, who was elected as a Chairman of the Krishi Upaj Mandi Samiti, Nadbai, has challenged the order of the Director of Agriculture, Rajasthan, dated 21st October, 1970, setting aside the petitioner's election as Chairman of the Krishi Upaj Mandi Samiti, Nadbai.

(2.) THE main ground taken by the petitioner to impugn the order of the Director of Agriculture is that he had no jurisdiction under rule 33 (11) of the Rajasthan Agricultural Produce Markets Rules, 1963 ( hereinafter called the Rules ) to entertain and decide the election petition filed by respondent No. 2 Shri Ghanshyam Sharma who was a contesting candidate for the office of the Chairman.

(3.) ON both counts the issues have been joined by the answering respondents, and learned counsel appearing on behalf of these respondents have strenuously urged that justice having been done by the order of the Director of Agriculture this Court should be slow to interfere in the exercise of its writ jurisdiction with the order of the Director.
