A.A.Desai,C.J. Hon.M.M. Ghildiyal, J. Heard Sri P.C. Bisht, learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Chief Standing Counsel. The petitioners have a grievance that their names have not been included in the voter's list for the Panchayat Elections. They, therefore, are seeking direction for the inclusion of their name in the voter's list. We have heard learned counsel for the parties at length. Mr. N.B. Tiwari, learned C.S.C. made a statement that the voters list was published in the month of November-December, 2002 in the news paper. The petitioners have not raised any objection to that. The filing of nomination commenced from 25.02.2003. They are till 2nd of March. The petitioners tried to canvass a grievance that just few days before he approached to the Returning Officer with the grievance. However, he did not entertain the same. The submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that they have no knowledge about the publication of the voters list in the news paper. The grievance as canvassed are without any merit. The petition is highly belated. To entertain this petition, at this state would not be in the interest of justice. We, therefore, dismiss the petition. (A.A.Desai,C.J.) (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.)
