IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 14592 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : 20.08.2008 Ram Parkash and others .... PETITIONERS Versus State of Punjab and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present: Mr. R.S. Ghuman, Advocate, for the petitioners. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that Section 27 of the Punjab State Election Commission Act, 1994 (hereinafter referred to as `the Act') has been grossly violated in this case because many persons who had voted in the panchayat election also turned up and had voted in the Municipal Council election in Nawanshahr. According to Section 27 of the Act, no person shall be entitled to be registered in the electoral roll of any constituency more than once. Therefore, it is clear that non-compliance of Section 27 of the Act has taken place and this would be a ground to get the election declared void. This petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to file CWP No. 14592 of 2008 -2- an election petition before the Election Tribunal. Election petition, if filed, shall be decided expeditiously. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE August 20, 2008 ( DAYA CHAUDHARY ) ndj JUDGE
