IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7079 of 2011 KAUSHALYA DEVI @ KAUSHILYA DEVI . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 02. 25.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, for the State and for the State Election Commission. The petitioner is aggrieved by the rejection of her nomination to contest the Panchayat Elections. It is submitted that the petitioner is holding the post of Sarpanch at present. Her name figures in the voters list prepared for the Assembly Elections 2010, but she has wrongly been shown as dead in the fresh voters list prepared for the Panchayat Election 2011. She is alive. The representation to the Commission has evoked no response. Learned counsel for the Commission submits that if petitioner’s name figures in the 2010 Assembly Election voters list, the Commission has already issued necessary instructions in that regard for acceptance of the same. But, if her name is not present in the former list, the fact that she has wrongly been shown as dead in the 2011 Panchayat Election voters list may not help her cause. Let the representation of the petitioner stated to have been submitted before the Secretary of the State Election Commission, at Annexure-7 be considered and disposed off in light of the aforesaid discussion with 2 promptitude, so that the petitioner is not non-suited from her right merely by delay in decision making. The application stands disposed. P.K ( Navin Sinha, J.)
