Patna High Court CWJC No.7315 of 2017 dt.13-10-2017 2/2 Now from the counter affidavit filed by the respondents represented by Sri Amit Srivastava, learned counsel for the State Election Commission, Patna Bihar, it is seen that the elections to the Corporation in question have already been over and now after the elections are over, this Court does not deem it appropriate to interfere into the question of preparation of voter list. In case, the petitioner has any grievance with regard to voter list prepared, the petitioner may take up the issue before the competent statutory authority and seek correction of the voter list in accordance with law.

For the present, finding no indulgence to be made into the matter, once the elections are over, the petition stands disposed of. (Rajendra Menon, CJ) ( Anil Kumar Upadhyay, J) Sunil/- AFR/NAFR NAFR CAV DATE NA Uploading Date 17.10.2017 Transmission Date
