BY GOVT. PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL.B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. --------------------------------- W.P(c)No.2891 OF 2008 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 24th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner is a President of a Co-operative Society. He seeks a direction in relation to the conduct of the election. The direction sought for is that the identity cards brought by the voters should be compared with Form 6 B Register. The statutory authorities in charge of the election have, necessarily, to act in terms of the provisions in the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act and Rules in that regard. So much so, no further direction is required to be issued at any point of time during the course of the election because this court is not to supervise the manner in which the election, relating to which this writ petition is filed, is held. There is no reason to assume that the official respondents will not act in terms of law merely because the petitioner alleges certain activities during the previous year. Under such circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing that respondents will ensure that the election is conducted strictly in accordance with law. THOTTATHIL.B.RADHAKRISHNAN JUDGE sv
