Judgment Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, J. The complaint of the petitioners is that the District Level Officer in connection with the election to the State Legislature is interfering with the functioning of certain office. The learned standing counsel for the Election Commission states that even the impugned order has been modified. Whatever that be, even if the petitioners have any subsisting grievance, they have to move before the Chief Electoral Officer or the Election Commission of India. It is not within the province of this Court to issue any such orders, having regard to the objects sought to be achieved by Article 329 of the Constitution of India. Hence, without prejudice to contentions WPC.7443/11 -: 2 :- and without prejudice to all such procedures available in terms of the Constitution, this writ petition is dismissed.
