Former Pune mayor, corporator from Wanawadi and city president of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Prashant Jagtap was just 23 when he entered politics.
In an order passed on May 24, a copy of which was made available on Tuesday evening, a single bench of Justice C V Bhadang dismissed a plea filed by Magar challenging the 2018 order. Justice Bhadang, however, stayed his order for four weeks to permit Magar to file an appeal challenging the same and to take recourse to any other legal remedies available.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (
corporator Sainath Babar for obstructing a
Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) ward officer from duty, by throwing garbage in his office chambers at Ramtekdi, Wanawadi. While dismissing anticipatory bail applications of Babar and his party worker Gorakhnath Ingale, the HC bench of Justice Sadhana Jadhav observed, “The act of the corporator would encourage goons in obstructing public servants from carrying out their duty by terrorising them and also taking the law into their hands. He has not acted as a responsible public representative. Grant of pre-arrest bail to the applicant would amount to showing leniency in such unruly behavior. Such acts of corporators lower the morale of the public office.”

MUMBAI: The BMC started reaching out to all its 227 corporators on Wednesday asking for locations where they may want to set up vaccination centres. Municipal commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal said all the 227 centres would be open to citizens aged above 18 years.
“The 63 existing BMC and government vaccination centres will be available for those in the age category of 45 years plus. New 227 BMC centres will be opened, one in each corporator ward and for all citizens in the 18 years plus category,” said Chahal. Currently, too, there are 73 vaccination centres in private hospitals, which would be increased to 100 to vaccinate all citizens aged above 18.
