IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6087 of 2011 MIRA DEVI . Versus THE STATE ELECTION COMMISSION & ORS. ----------- 2/ 08/04/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. On the own showing of the petitioner on the date that she filed her nomination i.e. 21.3.2011, her resignation submitted on 11.3.2001 yet remained to be accepted. The submission of a resignation does not tantamount to acceptance. Resignation is not a unilateral but a bilateral process requiring its proper acceptance. It is more than apparent that the day that the petitioner filed her nomination she was ineligible to do so in absence of the resignation having been accepted prior to that date. There is no merit in this application. The writ application stands dismissed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
