JUDGMENT

The petitioner seeks deployment of sufficient police force and installation of CC TVs on the polling date. The State Election Commission assures me that appropriate steps would be taken based on the inputs and dependent on the vulnerability of the situation. The police authorities shall also furnish the necessary inputs based on the information collected by them. What is needed for a free and fair poll is best left to be decided by the Election Commission in consultation with the District Collector.

No further directions are warranted and the writ petition is disposed of.
