As every member of the second respondent Society is eligible to cast his vote, the petitioner was expecting the second respondent Election Officer to release the final voters list. Accordingly, on 25.09.2018, when the final voters list was released, to his disappointment, his name was not found therein and therefore, on the very same day, the petitioner has submitted an application to the second respondent to include his name, which has not been considered so far.

A copy of the receipt issued in favour of the petitioner showing that the petitioner is also paying membership fees has been furnished.
