IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6330 of 2011 AWADHESH RAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS with CWJC No.6347 of 2011 SANJEEV KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 15.04.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Counsel for the State as also the State Election Commission. The location of booths for casting of votes in the ensuing Panchayat Elections is the privilege of the State Election Commission to be exercised in accordance with the criteria and the guidelines laid down by it. This Court under Article 226 of the Constitution shall not have the jurisdiction to usurp the powers of the Commission and decide location of the booth. To that extent this Court finds no merit in this application. On the own showing of the petitioners, the Commission has already issued circulars/directions with regard to location of booths. If the petitioners are aggrieved by any violation of the circulars of the Commission at the local level, their remedy lies in approaching the Commission. The writ application stands disposed with the aforesaid observations. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
