ORAL ORDER :

¶14

Heard.

¶15

02.We are informed that the election process
has already begun on 16.12.2016.

¶16

03.The grievance of the petitioner is that
though the eligibility criteria for a voter to vote
in the election is that he shall hold at least one
share of Rs. 100/-, the voters' list discloses that
there are more than 300 persons who have a share of
less than Rs. 100/-.

¶17

04.In our view, since the election process has
already begun, it is not possible to stall the said
process or pass any order which would have effect of
change in the process of election. The voters' list
is finalized in December 2016. The petitioner had
filed objection. However, that objection has not
been decided so far. At this stage, it would not be
possible to pass any order as prayed by the
petitioner.
