Malgeaon: In a major setback for the BJP-Shiv Sena opposition in Maharashtra, the Mumbai High Court February 23 declared the election of Dada Bhuse from Malegaon outer assembly constituency as void. Two time MLA from Malegaon, Dada Bhuse is one of Sena's senior leader in the region.

"Due to the non-disclosure of complete record of the criminal cases pending against him, the court sets aside the election of Dada Bhuse from the Malegaon outer assembly constituency", Justice Roshan Dalvi said in the order deleivered in response to the pettion filed by Arjun Bhuse.

Arjun Bhuse had contested as an independent against BJP-Shiv Sena alliance candidate Dada Bhuse in the assembly elections held in October 2009. 

The court has given Dada Bhuse 4 week's time to appeal in the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, Dada Bhuse while expressing surprise over the judgment said, "Its a court order and I respect it. But I had provided complete details of the cases pending against me. If there was any lapses, the election officer should have rejected my papers."

"I am consulting with my lawyers and will definitely go for an appeal in the Supreme Court", he said while talking to ummid.com.
