JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN ORAL ORDER 11-02-2016 The petitioner came complaining of some irregularities in the publication of the population of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe category as per Census 2011. Statement was made that objections were not invited.
A perusal of the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the State more particularly para-6 and 12 and paragraph-11 of the counter affidavit of the State Election Commission manifests that objections were invited, taken note of and were disposed of removing the discrepancies whatsoever. Now the only grievance
Patna High Court CWJC No.1858 of 2016 (4) dt.11-02-2016 is that the rectified list has not been published. It goes without saying that once the discrepancy has been removed, the State Election Commission / District Magistrate would take appropriate steps for its publication in the district gazette.
No indulgence is called for.
The writ petition is disposed of.
