IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10191 of 2011 Parveena Begum Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 2 14.7.2011 KHAN The petitioner, who was a candidate of Panchayat Samiti for Gram Panchayat No.18 of Ekhatha Block Khutauna in the district of Madhubani, seeks a direction to the respondent authorities for recounting of votes of all the booths of aforesaid Gram Panchayat. The petitioner alleges that gross mal-practice was adopted in counting of the votes and as such in terms of circular of the Election Commission he prays for recounting of votes of all the booths. The petitioner had already filed a representation dated 13.5.2011 for recounting of votes of all the booths but only one booth of Panchayat was re-counted where the petitioner’s vote increased. In my view, the petitioner should take resort to alternative remedy instead of pursuing the matter in writ jurisdiction. In case the petitioner files a suit before the competent court of civil jurisdiction, the same would be disposed of expeditiously without granting any unnecessary adjournment. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. (S.P.Singh,J) 2
