Alamgir Hossain v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

13.09.2024.

PB Sl. No.123.

Ct. No.15 WPA 22973 of 2024 Alamgir Hossain Vs The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Omar Faruk Gazi.

... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Srijan Nayak, Ms. Rituparna Maitra.

...for Coop. Election Commission.

Mr. Ankit Sureka, Mr. Biplab Das.

.....for the respondent no.5.

Mr. Lalit Mohan Mahata, Mr. Prasanta Behari Mahata.

......for the State.

The petitioner appears to have filed his nomination for the election of Malda Co-operative Agricultural & Rural Development Bank held on July 28, 2024.

Learned advocate appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that a number of illegalities were committed during the pendency of this writ petition and he filed several representations before the competent authorities to take action. Those

representations have not been considered by the authorities.

Admittedly, the election is over. I am of the view that if the petitioner wants to question the election that should be done only in terms of the Rule 35(1) of the West Bengal Co-operative Election Commission Rules, 2012.

The petitioner is at liberty to raise the election dispute if he is entitled to do so in law.

There is no scope to adjudicate the issues as raised by the petitioner in this writ petition. Accordingly, WPA 22973 of 2024 is disposed of. Urgent photostate certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties after observing all legal formalities.
