IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3552 of 2006 RAVI SHANKAR CHANDRAVANSHI Versus THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION ----------- 2 04.02.2009 In this writ application, the grievance of the petitioner is confined to inclusion of his name and his four other family members in the voter list of Shiv Nagar Gram Panchayat and on the basis of such inclusion allow him to file nomination for the Vidhan Parishad election. It is however not disputed by the Counsel for the petitioner that the election to the Vidhan Parishad seat in question have already been held and as such the immediate grievance of the petitioner has become wholly academic. However, if the petitioner is still interested in inclusion of his name in the voter list of Shiv Nagar Gram Panchayat he has the statutory alternative remedy under Sections 22, 23 and 24 of the Representation of People Act, 1950. That being so, in the event, the petitioner files an application to the competent authority for inclusion of his name as well as the name of his family members in the voter list of the locality in question, same must be considered and decided strictly in accordance with law expeditiously preferably within next two months from the date of filing of such application by the petitioner. With the aforementioned observations and directions this application is disposed of. Bibhash (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
