MARGAO: Pursuant to directions issued by the High Court to the Sanguem Mamlatdar to declare the results of the elections held to elect the new managing committee of the Shree Ramnath Devasthan Saunsthan in Zambaulim, Manjunath Shrinivas Pai Dukle was declared as the winner of the elections for the President’s post.
Vijayanand Hegde was elected as the Secretary of the new managing committee, while Saish Govind Hegde was elected as the Attorney and Ganadhish Ramanand Shenvi Kunde as the New Treasurer.
A substitute panel was also named for the various positions on the committee. All of this was declared on Thursday.
It may be recalled that the election was earlier scheduled on March 13 this year and rescheduled on March 20 but the results were not declared as some of the Mahazans filed a writ petition challenging the decision of the managing committee to delete the names of 2352 Mahazans out of a total of 3084 including the petitioners from the list of capable Mahazans entitled to vote to elect the new managing committee.
By an interim order, the Court had allowed elections but had directed the Sanguem Mamlatdar/Administrator of Devalaya to maintain separate ballot boxes.
