CWP No.18365 of 2015 [2] Committee. Her grievance is that Voter Identity Card No.XLN0587881 has been issued to her by the Election Department on 27.05.2015 but in the electoral roll of Ward No.9 of the Municipality, her name does not find mention as a voter. The obvious effect would be that she will not be able to exercise her right to franchise in the ensuing elections. The petitioner relies upon several official documents to establish her claim as a bonafide resident of Ward No.9, Municipal Committee, Rajound. She has also represented the City Magistrate, Kaithal who is stated to be the Competent Authority to revise the voter list.

In this view of the matter, we dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.4 to verify the claim of the petitioner as contained in her representation dated 25.08.2015 (P-4), and take an appropriate decision within one week.

Ordered accordingly.

Let a copy of this order be given dasti to Ms.Kirti Singh, learned DAG, Haryana, for information and necessary compliance.
