IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4372 of 2009 BIHAR STATE HYDROELECTRIC POWER CORPORATION Versus THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION& ors. For the petitioner : M/S Y.V. Giri, Raju Giri For the Commission : Mr. J.P. Karn. ----------- 2. 09.04.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Election commission of India and Chief Electoral Officer. While it is important for every citizen to contribute his efforts for holding of the Parliamentary Election, it is equally important that other normal activities are not prejudicially affected. Learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner submits from the representation filed at Annexure-9 that virtually the entire office staff of the headquarters of the Corporation has been requisitioned leaving only the Managing Director and his driver. Learned counsel for the Commission has no objection if this writ application is disposed with the observation that this Court expects that the Commission while requisitioning the staff from the corporation shall not act in a manner so severe so as to fundamentally affect the official activities of the Corporation which may possibly also have its fall out on its generating units. This 2 Court, therefore, expects that the Commission shall be reasonable in making requisition so that while personnel may be available for election duty, the Corporation may also be able to discharge its own functions during the election period. This writ application stands disposed. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
