The petitioner has come to this Court literally at the last minute. The election is to be held tomorrow. The notification was issued on 08.06.2024. Nothing prevented the petitioner from coming to this Court earlier. If the impugned notification is set aside, it will frustrate the election process. It is open to the petitioner to move this Court again to challenge the election results. This writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. 28.06.2024 NCC : Yes / No Index : Yes / No Internet : Yes/ No PMU 2/3
