CMP No. 12323/2010 Allowed. Disposed of. CWP No. 8108/2010 & CMP No. 12322/2010 Heard and gone through the record. Petitioners claim to be voters from ward No. 1, Ghamui of Gram Panchayat, Munddhal as per voter list which was prevailing prior to the latest revision of electoral rolls. According to them, their names and also the names of other residents of their village do not find mention in the latest electoral rolls, because of which not only petitioners and their co-villagers’ right of vote would be affected, but they can also not contest the panchayat election, which are slated to take place on 1st January, 2011. According to them, the entire village has been excluded from the electoral rolls. They have approached this Court for stalling the elections already announced. We have heard learned counsel for the petitioners. This is not the stage for stalling or postponing the date of election. Petitioners should have approached the State Election Commission, respondent No.2, herein, because that Commission has the power to order the revision of electoral rolls at any stage per rule 22 of the Himachal Pradesh Panchayati Raj (Election) Rules, 1994. We dispose of the petition, with a direction that in case the petitioners approach the State Election Commission, i.e. respondent No.2, for revision of electoral rolls, by exercise of power under Rule 22 of aforesaid Rules, by 20th December, 2010, the said respondent shall dispose of the petition of the petitioners by 22nd December, 2010, positively. Copy dasti to both the sides. ( R.B. Misra ), J. (Surjit Singh), J. 18th December, 2010 (sl)
