JUDGMENT
The non-inclusion of the petitioners as voters from Ward 11 is impugned in this writ petition. The electoral roll remains frozen from 3.p.m on the last date for making nominations until the completion of election. It has been so held in Narendra Madivalapa Kheni vs. Manikrao Patil and Ors. (AIR 1977 SC 2171).
There is also a bar to entertain this writ petition under Article 243-O (b) of the Constitution of India. The petitioners are free to agitate this question in a properly constituted election petition.
The writ petition fails and hence dismissed.
