Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? VIJENDER JAIN, CHIEF JUSTICE (ORAL) The petitioner has filed this petition, interalia, on the ground that one of the persons, whose nomination has been accepted, is Lambardar and the Election Commissioner has specifically held that a Lambardar, who holds office of profits under the State Government, cannot file nomination. The Draft Cantonment Electoral Rules, 2007 have been placed before us by the learned counsel for the petitioners. Rule 59 (ii) of the Draft Rules provides that an election petition can be filed by a person, who is affected by wrong or improper acceptance of a nomination paper. Election process has started and the petitioner is neither a candidate nor election agent of a candidate in the election. Therefore, we are afraid that jurisdiction can be exercised under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Dismissed. ( VIJENDER JAIN ) CHIEF JUSTICE May 16, 2008 ( JASWANT SINGH ) manoj JUDGE
