SUDHIR SINGH Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) B. S. Chauhan, J. This writ petition unravels the manipulations made by political rivals to overreach each other as candidates in the municipal elections, which would ultimately ensure the success of one and defeat of another. What troubles more is the involvement of the Executive Authority, the Deputy District Magistrate, Tilhar, District Shahjahanpur in this case, who has conveniently passed an order in favour of such smooth operators, who have succeeded in obtaining orders giving rise to the present writ petition.

(2.) THE controversy in this case centers around the preparation of the final electoral roll for the elections of the office bearers and members of the Municipal Board, Khudaganj, District Shahjahanpur. THE challenge is by the petitioner, who describes himself as a prospective candidate to the post of Chairman of the Nagar Panchayat, Khudaganj, to the order dated 7-8-2006, which was communicated vide letter dated 14-8-2006, by which the applications filed by the petitioner and respondent No. 5 for exclusion and inclusion of certain names in the electoral roll have been decided.

(3.) A perusal of the aforesaid direction issued by this Court indicates that the matter was disposed of without entering into the merits of the claim calling upon the authority concerned to dispose of the objections in accordance with law within a period of three weeks of the production of the same.
