PANAJI
The Bombay High Court at Goa has ruled that any action that the Maharashtra Gomantak Party takes with regard to the conduct of internal elections will be subject to any orders that the court will pass and the outcome of the petition.
Hearing a petition filed by Lavoo Mamledar, a former MLA now considered a persona non grata by the party, the Court said it would first like to hear the matter on the issues of maintainability.
Mamledar, however, contended that since the party has organised its internal elections any further action they take could further prejudice him.
Mamledar has been raging against the party claiming the lack of internal democracy and had alleged that incumbent party president Deepak Dhavlikar was illegally occupying the chair.
Lavoo has also claimed that he was illegally removed from his post as General Secretary and the party entirely.
Lavoo has also claimed that the party has not held elections for the last six years except in 2017 to give himself and his executive committee an extension of two years.
