IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6557 of 2010 ARUN KUMAR SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3 4.5.2011 By means of this writ application the petitioner has challenged the order dated 31.3.2010 passed by the State Election Commissioner by which the petitioner has been debarred to hold the office of Chairman, Municipal Counselor, Sultanganj. A complaint was filed by respondent no.8 to the State Election Commissioner that the petitioner has abused the power willfully as he got his two sons enrolled in the list of persons of below poverty line. The full opportunity of hearing was given to the petitioner and he has fully explained to the Election Commissioner. The Election Commissioner after going through the entire pleadings of parties has come to the conclusion that the petitioner has willfully enrolled the name of his sons in the B.P.L. list. Though he requested the Joint Secretary, Urban Development and Housing Department, to withdraw the Suchi but they come to the conclusion that his conduct of including name of his son in the BPL list has been disestablished. Therefore, the Commissioner has been held guilty of willfully abusing the power of the office and passed the impugned order. I do not find any infirmity and illegality in the impugned order. The writ petition is devoid of merit. The writ petition is dismissed. AnilKrSinha ( Prakash Chandra Verma, J.)
