IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6905 of 2011 SANJAY KUMAR SHARMA . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 25.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State Election Commission. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that contrary to the instruction of the Commission, the booth is being located wrongly near the house of the Mukhiya. The Bihar Panchayat Election Rules 2006, at Chapter-5, Rule 26 and 27 empower the District Election Officer to select the location of the polling booth with the approval of the Commission and the Commission is empowered to make alterations also but not vice-versa. Counsel for the Commission submits that necessary instructions have already been issued in this regard and they have been directed to be strictly implemented. There is no occasion for the writ Court to interfere on the issue of location of booths when the elections have commenced in a phase wise manner. The writ application stands disposed. P.
