N.J.Jamadar, J.
1. Rule. In view of the urgency, rule made returnable forthwith, and, with the consent of the learned Counsel for the parties, heard finally.
2. 2. By this Petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the Petitioner assails the legality, propriety and correctness of an order dated 6 November 2025 passed by the District Collector / District Election Officer, Pune, in Appeal No.1 of 2025, whereby the appeal preferred by the Petitioner purportedly under Section 24 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950 read with Rule 23 of the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, came to be dismissed
3. The Petitioner claims to be a resident and former Councilor of the Alandi Municipal Council. As the name of the Petitioner was included in the electoral rolls of Alandi Municipal Council,
Deletion from electoral rolls must comply with statutory procedures, and a petitioner must exhaust available remedies before seeking judicial review.
The availability of statutory remedies under the Representation of the People Act, 1950 restricts the maintainability of a writ petition regarding electoral roll inclusion.
