Shri Deonarain Singh, S/o Late Kishun Singh, resident of village- Dumri, P.S. Pakori Barma, distt. Nawadah …. …. Respondent 3rd Party ----------- 2. 9.10.2009. Heard counsel for the parties. Some serious allegations have been made in the writ application in the manner in which the final results came to be declared for Jyuri PACS in the district of Nawada. Petitioner has stated many a things and has alleged malafide against the Election Officer in the manner in which the result came to be announced. He has supported his allegations with some of the newspapers reports also. Petitioner has approached the State Election Authority but they have also decided to keep mum, therefore, the present writ application. If what has been alleged and stated in the writ application by the petitioner and even a shadow of the same is true then the Court also has no reservation in recording that the whole democratic process becomes a farce because democracy is based on purity of election and the result is only a reflection - 2 - of the will of the majority. If that majority or the will is tainted by manipulations then it cannot be said that the true essence of democracy has been practiced in letter and spirit. But the hands of this court is tied due to various judicial pronouncements and even self-restraint that in matters of such kind, the option for the petitioner is to bring all these facts before the election tribunal by way of an election petition and only thereafter may be the Court may have an opportunity to examine the correctness or otherwise of finding of facts coupled with the law which may be laid down by such forum or tribunal. Since the election petition is the answer even for such a situation, the Court is relegating the petitioner to such a forum. The writ application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to bring all these facts and supporting materials and evidence in the election petition and the forum will be obliged to render its decision. Let it also be noted that what has been recorded above is based on the pleadings and submissions made on behalf of the petitioner. It is not the reflection of the actual facts which will have to be adjudicated upon by the tribunal based on the materials and the evidence. This writ application is disposed of with above observation. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
