ORDER:
Shri Surat Singh son of S. Santokh Resident of Village Hassanpur
had represented to the State Election Commission on 13.05.2008
that his name from the electoral rolls was found missing when
he went to exercise his right of franchise on the day of poll
for the elections to Panchayat Samitis and Zila Parishads. He
has represented to the Commission that he is a legitimate resident
and voter of the village and his name very much figured in the
electoral rolls prepared for the Legislative Election for the
year 2007. He had categorically mentioned in writing that he is
a candidate for the Panchayat Elections and accordingly his name
may please be ordered to be included in the electoral rolls. The
concerned ERO was asked by the Commission vide Endst. No.SEC-08/5655
dated 13.05.2008 to take immediate action as per rules. On the
endorsement of his application the BDPO while observing recommended
that his name figures at Sr. No.1599 and could not be included
inadvertently in the final list, duly recommended to the ERO to
include his name on 15.05.2008, but the SDM-cum-ERO seemingly
had made that needless quarries on 15.05.2008 and even after repeated
clear recommendations of the BDPO protracted on the matter and
finally cleared file on 17.05.2008. Thereafter even report of
the ADC(D) who had admitted in his memo dated 21.05.2008 that
error is advertant whereas he is clarified to be enrolled as an
elector in the rolls.
Shri Surat Singh is repeatedly appeared before me and has alleged
that he is being intentionally deprived of his right to contest
the election as some vested interests are conspiring to thwart
him to contest the election which is his fundamental right.
Constitution of India and the State Election Commission Act mandate
the SEC to superintendence direction and control of the preparation
of electoral rolls for, and the conduct of all elections to Panchayats.
Obviously it devolves of the Commission to ensure that the same
are conducted fairly and honestly. In the instant case the circumstances
and the record placed before me suggests that Shri Surat Singh
has been deprived of right of franchise. After due consideration,
Commission concludes that the poll process has been vitiated and
the election to Village Hassanpur is countermanded and fresh election
schedule shall be issued separately. This issues in exercise of
the powers vested with the State Election Commission under Article
243K and 243N of the Constitution of India.
