Gujarat State Election Commission Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Since the issues raised in all the captioned writ-applications are the same, those were taken up for hearing analogously and are being disposed of by this common judgment and order.

(2.) In all the captioned writ-applications, the common grievance that has been voiced is with regard to the rotation of the reserved seats for the forthcoming panchayat elections in the State of Gujarat. In other words, the grievance voiced is that the State Election Commission has failed to follow the Gujarat Taluka and District Panchayats Election (Manner of Allotment of Reserved Seats by Rotation) Rules, 1994, more particularly, the (Amendment) Rules, 2015.

(3.) For the sake of convenience, the Special Civil Application No.1429 of 2021 is treated as the lead matter.
