Choubey, learned Senior counsel appearing in support of the writ petition and the learned counsel for the State. In my view, the writ petition is thoroughly misconceived and cannot be entertained by this Court. It is surrogate litigation. The writ petitioner challenges first the removal of respondent no.6, who was Pramukh. He then challenges the election of respondent no.16 as the new Pramukh. The only other contesting person for the post of Pramukh was respondent no.18, Nilu Devi. None of these aggrieved persons come forward to challenge their removal or their election or their non-election. A surrogate writ petition is not maintainable. It is dismissed accordingly.
