HC dismisses writ petition challenging voting rights restrictions in bar association elections. The court held that the Kolhapur District Bar Association is not a "State" under Article 12 of the Constitution, rendering writ jurisdiction under Article 226 inapplicable. The association's internal rules governing membership and voting rights are valid, and members cannot challenge such regulations through judicial review. The notice restricting voting rights for members with unpaid dues by 01 April 2025 was deemed neither arbitrary nor illegal. Consequently, members whose dues become payable after the specified date cannot claim a right to vote through writ intervention, and the petition was dismissed.
