1.

Leave granted to amend the writ petition and place on record the subsequent orders passed by the Tribunal. The amendment be carried out within a period of one week.

2.

Issue notice to the respondents, returnable on 05/12/2024. The learned Assistant Government Pleader waives notice for the respondent nos.1 to 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner on his prayer for grant of ad-interim relief , prima facie we find that the object behind issuance of the guidelines by the Election Commission of India from 21st July 2024 would require a broader interpretation of the expression "against whom a criminal 1/2

909-WP-15231-24.doc Rameshwar Dilwale case related to official functioning is pending in any court of law". In that view of the matter, we do not find any case made out to grant ad-interim relief.
