Ad-hoc Management Committee of the CGERWA made several attempts to get the nomination of Shri Pandit Desai as Returning Officer approved by the Area Welfare Officer but he did not cooperate. He never indicated any reason for non-acceptance of his appointment as Returning Officer. Instead he tried to impose his own nominee as Returning Officer in violation of provisions of the Model Constitution issued by DoPT.

2. Shri G. Devdas, Area Welfare Officer did not comply with the directions of this Department to resolve the issue of nomination of R.O amicably with the ad-hoc Managing Committee. The prejudiced attitude of Area Welfare Officer is creating hurdles in the conduct of free and fair election of the CGERWA.
3. In view of above, it has been decided to terminate the services of Shri G. Devdas as Area Welfare Officer. The charge of Antop Hill and Wadala areas in Central Mumbai has been given to Shri J.M. Singh, Area Welfare Officer. The revised charge of Shri J.M. Singh, Area Welfare Officer will be as under:-
