Bombay 176 to hold that a casual visit for
even limited period of stay may not amount to
residence at any particular place.
The court observed: "It is stated before the
Court by the applicant that he is in the
permanent service of the Government of India
and that he has to reside in Delhi for that
service. Even if the applicant were so minded,
he cannot come to Nagpur and "reside" in
Nagpur or at any place within the jurisdiction
of the Court at Nagpur because he will not be
coming to Nagpur and residing as a measure
of permanent residence. A casual visit to
Nagpur or even a limited period of stay in
Nagput may not possibly amount to residence
