IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 17773 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : 22.10.2008 Khushwant Kaur .... PETITIONER Versus State of Punjab and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. Navjeet Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) The petitioner, who is the defeated candidate in the election of Panches of Gram Panchayat, village Walipur Khurd, tehsil and district Ludhiana, has filed this petition under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside the election of respondent No.6 as Panch, on the ground that in spite of the fact that she had withdrawn her nomination paper, she has been declared elected as Panch, against the seat reserved for Women (General). Undisputedly, the petitioner has already filed election petition before the Election Tribunal, under Section 76 read with Section 89 of the Punjab State Election Commission Act, 1994, challenging the election of respondent No.6 as Panch. We are surprised how this petition has been filed CWP No. 17773 of 2008 -2- by the petitioner, when she has already filed the election petition. Thus, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition. Dismissed. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE October 22, 2008 ( JASWANT SINGH ) ndj JUDGE
