IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12892 of 2009 JITENDRA KUMAR GIRI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 5.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The issue is location of polling both for the so called PACS election of Manpura. The contention of the petitioner is that looking on the geographical lay out of the area and the number of voters coupled with the inconvenience of the voters who have to cast their votes, arrangement ought to be made for establishing of the polling booth in the area concerned to facilitate voting by all the members of the voter list. As per the general direction one booth is supposed to be an average of 700 voters but in the present case more than 700 voters have been made in one booth and the location of another booth is many K.M. away. Since the election has been fixed on 16th October, 2009, this Court is not willing to get into the nitty-gritty of the allegation or otherwise and also keeping into the fact that no adequate time is available, the matter is being relegated to the State Election Authority, Patna to look into the grievance of the petitioner in terms of annexure-3 to the writ application and if the averments are found to be correct then appropriate remedial step be taken in the matter at the earliest so that the issue may be decided before holding of the election in question. This writ application is disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
