(The Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble The Chief Justice) The petitioner, General Secretary of a political party, seeks to raise the issue of unaccounted money seized during election process. He also seeks to raise the issue of bogus voters. In our view, all these are strictly within the domain of Election Commission which is looking after the process. The election process has begun and if the petitioner has any grievance, he should only approach the Election Commission.

2. A representation is stated to have been made which would be dealt with by the Election Commission. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
