                W.P.(C)   No.30881\/2006   is   filed   by   a   voter   in   Ward<\/p>\n
No.20   of     Koduvally   Grama   Panchayat   and   Division   No.10<\/p>\n
(Nellamkandi)   in     Koduvally   Block   Panchayat.   He   is   also   a<\/p>\n
member   of   the       Koduvally   Block     Panchayat     committee<\/p>\n
representing Ward No.19, North Koduvally.  He submits that one<\/p>\n
Smt.Rasiya   Ibrahim   was   elected   from   Nellamkandi,     in   Division<\/p>\n
No. 10 of  Koduvally Block Panchayat in the election held  during<\/p>\n
September 2005.  The 3rd respondent Koduvally Block Panchayat<\/p>\n
represented   by   its   Secretary   issued   notice   to   Smt.Rasiya<\/p>\n
intimating her that she is disqualified under Section 35(k) of the<\/p>\n
Kerala Panchayat Raj Act 1994 on the ground that she has  failed<\/p>\n
to   attend   the   meeting   of   the   Block   Panchayat   Committee<\/p>\n
scheduled   on   23.3.2006,   24.4.2006,   22.4.2006   and   17.5.2006.<\/p>\n
It   is   submitted   that   on   verification   of   the   records   it   is   revealed<\/p>\n
that     Smt.Rasia   Ibrahim   attended     the   meetings   convened  with<\/p>\n
WPC No.29144\/2006 & another              2<\/span><\/p>\n
notice to her within the period from 28.2.2006 to 24.5.2006.  The<\/p>\n
petitioner alleges that the aforesaid action of the 3rd  respondent<\/p>\n
is   only   the   result   of   the   political   vengeance     and     the   grounds<\/p>\n
stated  for   disqualification   in   the   notice   are   totally   incorrect   and<\/p>\n
without bona fides.  The petitioner points out the strength of the<\/p>\n
Panchayat   committee  is  16  and due to the  demise  of  the then<\/p>\n
President   the   existing  strength   is   15.     If   Smt.Rasiya   Ibrahim   is<\/p>\n
not permitted to vote for the elections scheduled as per Ext.P1  it<\/p>\n
would   adversely   affect   the   voters   in   Ward   No.10   including   the<\/p>\n
petitioner.     The   petitioner     filed   a   petition   before   the   2nd<\/p>\n
respondent -State Election Commission under Section 36(1) read<\/p>\n
with Section 37 (2) of the Panchayat Raj Act to   adjudicate and<\/p>\n
decide for the validity of Ext.P2 notice.   Ext.P3 is a copy of that<\/p>\n
petition  .    If  the  election  scheduled as   per  Ext.P1   is  not   stayed<\/p>\n
pending   consideration   of   Ext.P3,   the   petitioner   will   be   put   to<\/p>\n
irreparable loss.   on the above grounds, the petitioner prays for<\/p>\n
following reliefs:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      a).  Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ,<\/p>\n
order or direction, directing 2nd  respondent to permit smt.Rasiya<\/p>\n
Ibrahim to continue in office till a decision is taken on Ext.P3.<\/p>\n
WPC No.29144\/2006 & another             3<\/span><\/p>\n
      b).     Issue   a   writ   of   mandamus   or   any   other   appropriate<\/p>\n
writ,   order   or   direction,   directing   respondents   to   postpone<\/p>\n
elections   scheduled   as   per   Ext.P1   till   a   decision   is   taken   on<\/p>\n
Ext.P3.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      2.  The   first   respondent  is  the   State  of   Kerala  and   the    4th<\/p>\n
respondent     is   the   Returning   Officer.     Notices   were   taken   on<\/p>\n
behalf   of   the   Government     by   the   Government   Pleader   and   on<\/p>\n
behalf   of   the   2nd  respondent   State   Election   Commission   by<\/p>\n
Sri.Murali Purushotaman, the learned Standing Counsel.<\/p>\n
      3.     W.P.(C)   No.29144\/2006   has   been   filed   by   Smt.Rasiya<\/p>\n
Ibrahim   herself   and   the   respondents   respectively   are   the<\/p>\n
Secretary   of   the   Koduvally   Grama   Panchayat   and   the     Kerala<\/p>\n
State Election Commission.  The petitioner states that she  is the<\/p>\n
returned candidate from   Nellamkandi, Ward No.X of   Koduvally<\/p>\n
Block  Panchayat   as   an official  candidate of    Muslim  League  in<\/p>\n
the   U.D.F.     Thereafter   she   was   elected   as   a     member   of   the<\/p>\n
Welfare Standing Committee also.  She was never given notice by<\/p>\n
the Secretary of the Block Panchayat Committee for the meetings<\/p>\n
WPC No.29144\/2006 & another             4<\/span><\/p>\n
held   on   23.3.2006   24.3.2006,   22.4.2006   and   17.5.2006.<\/p>\n
Therefore, she did not participate in the meetings held on those<\/p>\n
dates.    Even during that   period,  in  the  meeting of  the  standing<\/p>\n
Committee she had attended.  Ext.P1 notice produced by her, she<\/p>\n
contends,   is     proof   positive   of   the   fact   that   even   during   the<\/p>\n
alleged period of her not attending the committee meetings she<\/p>\n
had attended meetings  for which she had received notice.  Thus<\/p>\n
Ext.P1, according to her, will fortify the fact that if she had been<\/p>\n
issued       notice   of   the   meetings,   she   would   have   certainly<\/p>\n
attended the  same.  Even on 17.5.2006, the alleged date of non<\/p>\n
attendance   she   had   participated   in   the   Standing   Committee<\/p>\n
meeting.     According   to   her   what   really   happened   is   that   on<\/p>\n
21.6.2006   the   President   of   the   Block   Panchayat,   talked   to   her<\/p>\n
over telephone   and stated that no proper register for service of<\/p>\n
notice   of   meetings   were   kept   in   the   office   and   the   officer<\/p>\n
concerned  will   be  facing  disciplinary   action,  if   such  a  register   is<\/p>\n
not maintained and therefore a fresh register now made  in which<\/p>\n
she  may   acknowledge   the   receipt   of   the   notices   by   putting   her<\/p>\n
signature   for   meetings   which   she   had   not   received   notice.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, she went over to the office and put her signatures in<\/p>\n
WPC No.29144\/2006 & another             5<\/span><\/p>\n
the register and before   she could write the   dates on which she<\/p>\n
had   received   the   notice,     the   register   was   snatched   away   from<\/p>\n
her. It appears to her that it was thereafter   that receipt of the<\/p>\n
notices   for   the   meetings   held   on   23.3.2006,   24.3.2006,<\/p>\n
22.4.2006 and 17.5.2006 were put in the register. She points out<\/p>\n
even   in   the   meeting   held   on   22.6.2006   ,   she   was   allowed   to<\/p>\n
participate and thus even after 17.5.2006 she was functioning as<\/p>\n
a   member   and   the   member   of   Welfare   Standing   Committee.<\/p>\n
She submits that immediately thereafter i.e. on 24.6.2006,   she<\/p>\n
along  with  another  lady   member  by   name  Thankamani   went  to<\/p>\n
the office of the President and requested him to allow her to put<\/p>\n
dates on which she had received notice.   However, the President<\/p>\n
and  another  member  by  name N.C.Mohammed misbehaved  and<\/p>\n
the petitioner  had submitted a  complaint     against the  President<\/p>\n
and   the   member   before   the   Koduvally   Police   and   the   matter   is<\/p>\n
being investigated.   On the same day, the petitioner had made a<\/p>\n
request to the Secretary to allow her to put her dates of receipt<\/p>\n
of   notices   of   meetings   against   her     signatures.       But   she   was<\/p>\n
shocked  to   receive   a  letter   from   the  first   respondent   intimating<\/p>\n
her   that   by   not   attending   the   meeting   held   on   23.3.2006,<\/p>\n
WPC No.29144\/2006 & another             6<\/span><\/p>\n
24.3.2006,   22.4.2006   and   17.5.2006   she   will   forfeit   her<\/p>\n
membership   under   Section   35   (k)   of   the   Kerala   Panchayat   Raj<\/p>\n
Act.   The petitioner had submitted her explanation to the effect<\/p>\n
that   she   had     attended   all   the   meetings   which   she   had   been<\/p>\n
actually   given  notice   and  that   notice   issued  by the   Secretary   is<\/p>\n
politically  motivated  and  issued  as  a design  to  keep  her off  the<\/p>\n
next  meetings.    Ext.P1   is   a  copy  of   the  minutes   of  the   Welfare<\/p>\n
Standing   Committee   dated   17.3.2006.     Ext.P2   is   a   copy   of   the<\/p>\n
request   made by the petitioner to the Secretary to allow her to<\/p>\n
put   dates   of   receipt   of   notices   of   the   meetings   against   her<\/p>\n
signature.   Ext.P3 is a copy of the letter of intimation sent by the<\/p>\n
first   respondent   to   the   petitioner.     Ext.P4     is   a   copy   of   the<\/p>\n
explanation   submitted   by   the   petitioner   to   Ext.P3.     Ext.P5   is   a<\/p>\n
copy   of   O.P.No.45\/2006   which   the   petitioner   has   submitted<\/p>\n
before   the   f   Election   Commission.     Ext.P6   is   a   copy   of     I.A.<\/p>\n
No.32\/2006   submitted   by   the   petitioner   before   the   Election<\/p>\n
Commission   for  permission  to   the  petitioner  for   continuing  as   a<\/p>\n
member.   Ext.P7 is a copy of the counter affidavit submitted by<\/p>\n
the first respondent to Ext.P6.     It is   noted   that in Ext.P7 the<\/p>\n
statement   of   the   petitioner   that   she   had   attended   meetings   of<\/p>\n
WPC No.29144\/2006 & another              7<\/span><\/p>\n
standing   committee   held   on   10.4.2006   and   17.5.2006   is   not<\/p>\n
denied.    Ext.P8 is a copy of the  minutes of the meeting  of the<\/p>\n
Standing committee held on   8.5.2006.   Ext.P9 is a copy of the<\/p>\n
order   of   the  Election   Commissioner dismissing  Ext.P6   I.A.     It   is<\/p>\n
challenging   Ext.P9   order   on   various   grounds   that   the   petitioner<\/p>\n
has filed this writ petition seeking the following reliefs:<\/p>\n
      i).  To call for the records leading to Ext.P9 order passed by<\/p>\n
the second respondent and to quash the same by issuing a writ of<\/p>\n
certiorari or any other appropriate writ order or direction.<\/p>\n
      ii).  To declare that the petitioner is not disqualified to be a<\/p>\n
member by virtue of Section 35 (k) of  Panchayat Raj Act.<\/p>\n
      iii).     To   allow   I.A.   No.   32   of   2006   in   O.P.No.45   of   2006<\/p>\n
before the second respondent.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      iv).     To   direct   the   respondents   to   allow   the   petitioner   to<\/p>\n
continue as a member of Koduvally Block Panchayath and to keep<\/p>\n
in abeyance all proceedings relating to declaration of election in<\/p>\n
the   Panchayat   pending   disposal   of   the   Ext.P5   Original   Petition<\/p>\n
before the second respondent by issuing a writ of mandamus or<\/p>\n
any other appropriate writ direction or order.<\/p>\n
      4.         On   behalf   of   the   State   Election   Commission   a<\/p>\n
WPC No.29144\/2006 & another             8<\/span><\/p>\n
statements have been filed by the Standing Counsel in both these<\/p>\n
cases.       In   W.P.(C)   No.29144\/2006   a   reply   affidavit   has   been<\/p>\n
filed. Along  with the reply  affidavit, the  petitioner  has  produced<\/p>\n
Ext.P10,     a   copy   of   the   order   in   I.A.   No.   14\/2006   in   O.P.<\/p>\n
No.4\/2006   passed   by   the   State   Election   Commissioner.     It   is<\/p>\n
stated     that   in   Ext.P10   that   the   Election   Commission   had,   on<\/p>\n
considerations   of   balance   of   convenience,     permitted   the<\/p>\n
petitioner   therein   to     continue   in   the   office.       It   is   without<\/p>\n
considering Ext.P10, which has been approved by this court vide<\/p>\n
Judgment   in          Giji   Mathew   v.   Kerala   State   Election<\/p>\n
Commission<\/a>   (2006   (3)   KLT   141)    that   Ext.P9   (   in   W.P.(C)<\/p>\n
No.29144\/2006)  has been passed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      5.  I have heard the submissions of  Sri.T.G.Rajendran, the<\/p>\n
learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner   in   W.P.(C)   No.30881\/2006,<\/p>\n
Sri.Mohamed Rovuf K.K., the learned counsel for the petitioner in<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)   No.   29144\/2006,   Sri.Mathew   G.Vadakkal,   the   learned<\/p>\n
Government Pleader and also those of Sri.Murali Purushothaman,<\/p>\n
the learned Standing Counsel for the Election Commission.     My<\/p>\n
attention was drawn by the Sri.Mohamed Rovuf to the judgment<\/p>\n
WPC No.29144\/2006 & another              9<\/span><\/p>\n
of this court in  Gigi Mathew’s case(supra).\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
      6.     I   have   considered   the   rival   submissions   in   the   light   of<\/p>\n
the pleadings and the ratio which emerges from the judgment of<\/p>\n
this court in  Gigi Mathew’s case (supra).  It is true that this court<\/p>\n
in   Giji   Mathew’s   case(supra)   has   held   that   the   State   Election<\/p>\n
Commission has power to pass   an order to put back a person,<\/p>\n
who by the happenings of the event provided for by   Section 35<\/p>\n
(k) followed by intimation given to him under Section 37 (2) has<\/p>\n
ceased to hold office.     But however, on account of the reasons<\/p>\n
stated   in   the   statements   filed   on   behalf   of   the   State   Election<\/p>\n
Commission,   which   were   urged   before   me   by   Sri.Murali<\/p>\n
Purushothaman   and     supported   by   the   documents   produced   by<\/p>\n
the   Election   Commissioner   and   also     the   reasons   stated   in   the<\/p>\n
judgment   of   this   court   in    Shaila   v.   Kerala   State   Election<\/p>\n
Commission<\/a> (2002 (3)  KlT 857),    I  am not  inclined to  grant<\/p>\n
relief to the petitioners in either of the petitions.   But as far as<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)   NO.29144\/2006   is   concerned,   I   record   the   assurance<\/p>\n
given   by   Sri.Murali   Purushothaman   that   till   final   orders   are<\/p>\n
passed   in   the   O.P.   Which   is   pending   before   the   State   Election<\/p>\n
WPC No.29144\/2006 & another            10<\/span><\/p>\n
Commission, the Election Commission will not take  any steps for<\/p>\n
conducting Election in Ward No. X of Kuduvally Block Panchayat.<\/p>\n
       Both   the   writ   petitions   are   dismissed   without   granting<\/p>\n
reliefs.     But   the   undertaking   given   by   the   Standing  Counsel   for<\/p>\n
Election   Commission   in   W.P.(C)   No.   29144\/2006   shall   be<\/p>\n
honoured by the Election Commissioner.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
