IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8494 of 2011 SANJAY MANGHI @ SANJAY CHAUDHRY . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 16.05.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State Election Commission. The petitioner, a resident of Village Fetehpur under Koshla Gram Panchayat in Block Nardiganj, District Nawada, desires change of his Booth from Ward No. 11 to Ward No. 12 after publication of the final voters list. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner apprehends that he may not be permitted to cast his vote at Ward No. 12, the distance between the two booths is 3 K.M. The Court considers the writ petition as wholly frivolous in nature. If the petitioner’s name figures in a voter list and he considers 3 K.M. to be a heavy cost for democracy and to exercise his right to franchise he has to blame himself alone. Counsel for the Commission submits that after final publication of the voters list the statute prohibits any interference with the same. That it is the duty of the Commission to ensure that free and fair elections are held where every electorate fearlessly is able to cast his vote. The writ application is dismissed.
