ORAL
ORDER
(Per
: HONOURABLE MS. JUSTICE R.M.DOSHIT)
The
petitioner, Director, Agriculture Produce Market Committee, Bodeli
has preferred the present petition under Article 226 of the
Constitution to challenge the order dated 1st September,
2008 made by the Election Officer in respect of the objections lodged
by the petitioner against the provisional list of voters’ published
on 11th August, 2008. According to the petitioner, several
societies [respondents nos. 3 to 14 before this Court] are
non-functional, their names ought not to have been included in the
electorate. The said objections have been rejected by the Election
Officer by impugned order dated 1st September,
2008. Therefore, the present petition.
Mr.
Rana has appeared for the petitioner. He has submitted that the
decision of the Election Officer is cryptic. The Election Officer has
not recorded any reason for rejecting the objections lodged by the
petitioner.
We
see no reason to interfere with the order of the Election Officer at
this stage. If need be, the petitioner may file substantive
proceedings to challenge the election before the appropriate forum.
The
petition is dismissed in limine. Notice is
discharged.
