Quick Summary: Sandeep Maruti Raskar's name was taken off the voting list, and his request to get it back was turned down. Here's how it all happened.
Sandeep Maruti Raskar, who used to be a councilor in Alandi, had a problem when his name disappeared from the voting list. He had asked to remove his name from the lists in Bhosari and Khed but wanted to stay on the Alandi list. Things didn't go as he hoped.
On December 30, 2023, a local officer took Sandeep's name off the Alandi list without telling him. Sandeep only found out when the new voter list was released on October 8, 2025, right before the local elections.
Sandeep tried to fix the problem by asking the District Election Officer for help. But on November 6, 2025, his request was turned down. Why? Because he didn't question the removal in time after the voting lists were finalized in 2024.
Sandeep's lawyer, Mr. Vineet Naik, argued that the removal was against the rules and unfair since Sandeep wasn’t informed. However, the court pointed out that the main list was for the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, not the city roll. Since Sandeep's name wasn't on the assembly list, it couldn't be on the city one.
Judge N.J. Jamadar dismissed Sandeep's case, explaining that he should have first challenged the removal from the legislative list. However, the court mentioned that Sandeep could still try to fix this if he wants.
Summary of the Verdict: The court decided that Sandeep's name would stay off the voting list because he didn't act quickly enough to challenge the removal from the legislative list. He can still try to fix this issue by addressing the legislative list first.
