IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION (L) NO.775 OF 2009 Adv.Firoz Ahmed Ansari M.Y. ..... Petitioner V/s. The Election Commission of India and Ors. ..... Respondents Petitioner present in-person. Mr.Pradeep Rajgopal i/by Rekha Rajgopal, for the respondent. CORAM : P.B.MAJMUDAR & R.M.SAVANT, JJ. DATED : 17TH APRIL, 2009. P.C. 1. By way of this petition, the petitioner is seeking the reliefs that the respondent No.1 to 3 may be directed to register a new Party formed by the petitioner namely Liberty Social Justice and may also be allotted symbol “Tarazu”. The learned counsel for the respondents states that the petitioner has already been given a symbol of Gas-Stove. It is pointed out to the Court that the election process has already been started. Even the last date for withdrawal of the candidature is also over on 13-04- 2009. In our view, considering the fact that the election process has already started, it is too late in a day now to consider the prayer made by the petitioner as this Court cannot interfere with the election process as such a late stage. The petitioner may not be responsible for such delay, but 2 the fact remains that if any relief is granted in favour of the petitioner, it may amount to interfering with the election process, especially when the learned counsel for the respondents submitted that the ballot papers are already printed. No relief can be granted to the petitioner as prayed for in this petition. 2. The writ petition is rejected. ( R.M.SAVANT, J. ) ( P.B.MAJMUDAR, J. )
