Chandrashekhar v. the State of Karnataka
Case brief
What is this about?
Members excluded from the voter list of a co-operative society election sought inclusion via writ petition. Citing prior rulings that such petitions are not maintainable once the calendar of events is published, the petition was dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to raise an election dispute.
What did the court decide?
Liberty granted to withdraw and file an election dispute under S.70(2)(c); results to be announced excluding petitioners' votes cast per interim order.
