JUDGMENT
The ballot papers have already been printed and postal ballots have already been despatched. It is inequitable to alter the serial No. of the candidates in the list. Moreover all the candidates have not been impleaded in the writ petition. The writ petition is liable to be dismissed following Joice George v. The Election Commissioner of India [2014 (2) KLT 230].
The writ petition fails and is dismissed.
