As regards the inclusion of the petitioner's name in Writ Petition No.12974 of 2025, it is stated that his name was not available on the 'ERONET'

portal even as of 01.09.2025. It is then stated that if it is made available, a decision can be taken accordingly. This ultimately affects the election because the petitioner is relying on
