IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6660 of 2011 KIRAN DEVI . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 19.04.2011 Learned counsel prays for and is permitted to make necessary correction in the cause title with regard to respondent no. 5. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State Election Commission. It is submitted that the name of the petitioner figured in the 153 Gopalpur Assembly Constituency. The petitioner desires to contest Panchayat Election for Gram Panchayat Raj, Sukatia Bazar within Gopalpur Block, District-Bhagalpur. Her nomination has however been rejected on the ground that her name did not find place in the 2011 voter list prepared for the Panchayat Election. Learned counsel submits that this rejection is in teeth of the guide lines laid down by the Commission itself that in such cases, if the name figured in the 2010 Assembly Voter list, it should be treated as valid for the purposes of Panchayat Election. The petitioner is stated to have represented both before the returning officer on 1.4.2011 as also before the Commission by receipt 2 granted on 7.4.2011 at Annexure-7. Counsel for the Commission has no objection to the disposal of this application with directions to the returning officer to consider the grievances of the petitioner in light of the instructions already issued by the Commission in this regard. Needless to State that the returning officer is required to consider matters forthwith so that the petitioner is not non suited or denied relief by delayed consideration only. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
