Gurmail Singh vs State Election Commissioner And Ors

Punjab-Haryana High Court14 October 2024Sureshwar Thakur · Sudeepti Sharma

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

1. NOTA may be exercised only in contested elections where ballots are cast through Ballot Boxes or EVMs; NOTA does not apply where candidates have been declared elected unopposed, as the legislative intent underlying NOTA contemplates exercise only where there is a contest of election. 2. When the number of contesting candidates is less than the number of seats to be filled, Section 54(3) of the Act of 1994 mandates that the Returning Officer shall forthwith declare such candidate(s) elected unopposed, rendering it unnecessary for the electorate to enter the polling booth or exercise any voting right. 3. No statutory breach occurs by not providing the electorate an opportunity to exercise NOTA in unopposed elections, as NOTA rights arise only upon a contest amongst at least two candidates, making the non-assignment of NOTA rights in unopposed elections irrelevant and inconsequential.

SURESHWAR THAKUR, J. (Oral)

1. The lead writ petition bearing CWP No. 26439 of 2024 titled

as 'Ramanjeet Kaur Versus State of Punjab and Others' and connected

therewith writ petition(s) were taken up for hearing before a Co-ordinate

Bench of this Court on 09.10.2024.

2. The core issue which fell for consideration in the said writ

petition(s) related to the purported improper rejections of the nomination

papers of the aspirants who chose to contest elections to the posts' of

Sarpanch and Panches of the Gram Panchayats concerned. Accordingly,

the hereafter extracted relief became prayed in the lead writ petition

(supra).

The jurisdiction of this Court has been invoked under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari to quash the list dated 05.10.2024 (Annexure P-4) displayed by respondent No.4-Returning Officer, Cluster No.12, SAS Nagar, Mohali declaring respondents No.5 to 7 to be eligible to contest the elections of Sarpanch of village Papri with a further prayer seeking writ of mandamus directing the official respondents to consider the nomination form of the petitioner for contesting the elections of Sarpanch, village Papri and also to consider the objections dated 05.10.2024 (Annexure P-5 to P-7) raised by the petitioner and other inhabitants of village Papri along with in the interim to stay the election process for the post of Sapranch, village Papri, scheduled to be held on 15.10.2024.

3. In addition, in the writ petitions (supra) a prayer was also

made for the making of an order for staying the conducting of elections to

the Gram Panchayats concerned, as, located within the State of Punjab.

4. The learned State counsel who then appeared on behalf of the

State of Punjab, had vehemently argued qua the maintainability of the writ

petition(s). The said argument was based upon the provisions as carried in

Section 89 of the Punjab State Election Commission Act, 1994 (hereinafter

refer to as the 'Act of 1994'), provisions whereof are extracted hereinafter.

89. Grounds for declaring election to be void.-- (1) Subject to the provisions of sub- section (2), if the Election Tribunal is of the opinion,--

(a) that on the date of his election, a returned candidate was not qualified, or was disqualified to be chosen to fill the seat under the Constitution of India or under this Act; or

(b) that any corrupt practice has been committed by a returned candidate or his election agent or by other person with the consent of a returned candidate or his election agent; or

(c) that any nomination has been improperly rejected: or

(d) that the result of the election, in so far as it concerns a returned candidate, has been materially affected,-- xxxx xxxx

5. Since in clause (c) of Sub Section (1) of Section 89 of the 'Act

of 1994', the factum of purported improper rejection of the nomination

papers, has been declared to be one amongst the other grounds for

therebys facilitating the aggrieved to challenge, the declaration of results

by the Returning Officer concerned, rather through the filing of an election

petition before the Election Tribunal concerned. Therefore, it was argued

that with the above specific statutory provision becoming engrafted in the

'Act of 1994' therebys a complete bar becomes created against this Court,

to in the exercisings of its writ jurisdiction, thus making any judicial

review of the election process, as became initiated through the publication

of the election programme.

6. Furthermore, it is also on the arch of the above contentions,

that the alternative remedy (supra) to the invocation of the writ remedy, is

argued, to at this stage make the writ remedy, rather to be a mis-recoursed

remedy.

7. Moreover, the said argument was also raised upon the

provisions as carried in Article 243-O of the Constitution of India. The said

Article is extracted hereinafter.

243O. Bar to interference by courts in electoral matters Notwithstanding anything in this Constitution--

(a) the validity of any law relating to the delimitation of constituencies or the allotment of seats to such constituencies made or purporting to be made under article 243K, shall not be called in question in any court;

(b) no election to any Panchayat shall be called in question except by an election petition presented to such authority and in such manner as is provided for by or under any Law made by the legislature of a State.

8. Moreover, the learned State counsel then also relied upon the

judgment rendered by the Apex Court in case titled as 'West Bengal, State

Election Commission and Ors. Versus Communist Party of India

(Marxist) and Ors., reported in 2018 (18) SCC 141, whereins, it has been

expostulated that even if there is a flaw at the stage of filing of nomination

forms itself, still the remedy known to law would be through election

petition alone. The relevant paragraph thereof is extracted hereinafter.

31. Having given our anxious consideration to the rival submissions which have been urged at the bar, we find that there are several reasons why it would be inappropriate for this Court to exercise its jurisdiction to interdict the declaration of results of the uncontested seats. First and foremost, it is necessary for the Court to notice that no specific relief was claimed before the High Court in regard to those seats where there was no contest. Neither were there adequate pleadings nor indeed were specific prayers set up before the High Court when its jurisdiction under Article 226 was invoked. The proceedings before the High Court were brought by several political parties, each of whom would have been well aware of the situation on the ground and the need to formulate an adequate basis in fact to invoke the jurisdiction of the High Court. Absent such a factual foundation, the High Court dealt with the only issue which had been addressed, which was the plea that nominations should be allowed to be filed in the electronic form. No other plea was raised. The second important consideration which must weigh with the Court is that if the above submission is accepted, election results to over 20,000 seats will be set at naught in the absence of the affected parties 103 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -104-

before the Court. Thirdly, once the election process has commenced, it is trite law that it should not be interdicted mid stage. The electoral process is afforded sanctity in a democracy. That is the reason why in a consistent line of precedent, this Court has insisted upon the discipline of the law being followed so that any challenge to the validity of an election has to be addressed by adopting the remedy of an election petition provided under the governing statute. For this Court to set aside elections to over 20,000 seats would be to prejudge the basic issue as to whether in each of those constituencies, the election stands vitiated by obstruction having been caused to candidates from filing their nominations. A general assumption of this nature cannot be made. Ultimately whether this is correct would depend upon the evidence adduced in the facts of individual cases where such a grievance has been made in an election petition. The Court has been apprised that approximately 1,700 complaints were filed and about 168 election petitions have been instituted. We are emphatically of the view that any challenge to the election must take place in a manner which is known to law.

32. Under Section 79(1) a period of 30 days is prescribed for instituting an election petition, where a dispute arises as to the validity of an election. The period of 30 days commences after the date of the declaration of the results of the election. The pendency of these proceedings may have dissuaded aggrieved individuals from seeking recourse to the remedy of an election petition, particularly after the interim order of this Court restraining the State Election Commission from notifying the results of the constituencies where there was no contest. While we are of the view that the validity of the elections must be tested in election petitions under Section 79(1), the question as to whether there was a large scale obstruction from filing nominations is a serious matter which needs to be resolved. This is particularly because even the Election Commission, as we have seen, had proceeded to take notice of the grim situation while extending the date for the filing of nominations. Having regard to the seriousness of the allegations and bearing in mind the fact that these proceedings were pending, we are of the view that it would be necessary to exercise the power under Article 142 of the Constitution to extend the period of 30 days for the filing of election petitions in respect of the uncontested seats.

33. For these reasons, we are of the view that challenges in regard to the validity of the elections to the uncontested seats in the panchayats, panchayat samitis and zilla parishads must also be pursued in election petitions under Section 79(1) of the Panchayat Elections Act. We leave it open to any person aggrieved to raise a dispute in the form of an election petition in accordance with the provisions contained in the Panchayat Elections Act. In exercise of the power conferred by Article 142, we direct that the period of 30 days for filing election petitions in respect of the uncontested seats shall commence from the date of the publication of the results in the Official Gazette.

9. He then further relied upon a verdict rendered in case titled as

'Ashok Kumar Versus Sudesh Kumar Aggarwal and Others, to which

Civil Appeal No. 7054 of 2001 became assigned, and, also upon a verdict

rendered in case titled as Gurdeep Singh Dhillon Versus Satpal and

Others, reported in 2006 (10) SCC 616, whereins, it has been expostulated

that no election can be called in question except by way of election

petition.

10. Further, the learned State counsel had relied upon a Full

Bench judgment of this Court rendered in case titled as Prithvi Raj Vs.

State Election Commission, Punjab and Others, reported in 2007 (3)

RCR (Civil) 817, whereins, a trite expostulation of law is made, to the

effect that writ petition(s) are not maintainable in election matters,

especially when the election process has commenced.

11. In one of the writ petition(s), an averment was raised that the

Returning Officer arbitrarily declared, the candidate whose nomination

papers were found in order, thus as elected un-opposed, whereas, the

nomination papers of other candidates became untenably rejected, besides

an averment was also raised that as such, the said declaration was made, in

collusion with the Returning Officer concerned.

12. Consequently, the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court after taking

into account certain malpractices as become noticed in paragraph No. 26 of

the order (supra), drew a conclusion that there is blatant abuse of the State

machinery at the instance of the respondent, to the extent, that the illegal

rejections of nomination papers were made, thus by the Returning Officer,

whereafter only one candidate was left in fray and who became declared 105 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

elected as unopposed. In sequel, it became declared that the said ill

exercise rather militated against the guidelines, as spelt in the judgment

rendered by the Apex Court in case titled as 'People's Union for Civil

Liberties and Anr. Versus Union of India and Anr.', to which Writ

Petition (Civil) No. 161 of 2004 becomes assigned.

13. Moreover, the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, though after

making allusions to the judgments rendered by the Apex Court in case

titled as 'N.P.Ponnuswami Versus The Returning Officer, Namakkal

Constituency and others, reported in 1952 SCC Online (SC) 3 and in case

titled as 'Mohinder Singh Gill Versus The Chief Election Commissioner,

New Delhi, reported in (1978) 1 Supreme Court Cases 405, yet ultimately

concluded, that with their being evident breach to the statutory provisions

engrafted in Section 41 of the 'Act of 1994' and in Rule 11 of the Punjab

Panchayat Election Rules, 1994 (hereinafter for short called as the Election

Rules, 1994), therebys a necessity arose for the passing of an ad interim

injunction against the respondent concerned. The operative part of the

order passed by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court becomes extracted

hereinafter.

Interim relief

40. The grievance raised on behalf of the petitioners having culled out in its entirety keeping in view the nature and importance of the larger issue, we are of the considered view that elections at the local participatory level act as a microcosm in the democratic structure is to be ensured as a free and fair electoral process. It is imperative to maintain the legitimacy of and trust in representative democracy which warrants for issuance of an interim order and, therefore, further process in the election in question before this court confined to the present bunch of writ petitions is hereby stayed till the next date of hearing.

41. In the meantime, the State who has sought time to file written statements, in all the matters separately may do so.

14. Today, the learned Advocate General, Punjab, who appeared

for the State of Punjab, submitted that in the respective cases become filed,

in the Registry of this Court, application(s) for preponment of the lis from

16.10.2024 to today. Therefore, he prayed that the said application(s) be

allowed. The said application(s) are allowed. Moreover, the learned

Advocate General, Punjab also submitted that application(s) become filed

in the respective cases, thus for seeking vacation(s) of the interim relief

(supra), as became granted by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court. The

application(s) (supra) in the respective cases with the consent of the

15. Resultantly, this Court is required to be not only adjudicating

upon the issue relating to the maintainability of the instant writ petition(s)

programme. The relevant paragraphs as occur in the verdicts (supra) are

(N.P.PONNUSWAMI VERSUS THE RETURNING OFFICER, NAMAKKAL CONSTITUENCY)

15. The question now arises whether the law of elections in this country contemplates that there should be two attacks on matters connected with election proceedings, one while they are going on by invoking the extraordinary jurisdiction of the High Court under article 226 of the Constitution (the ordinary jurisdiction of the courts having been expressly excluded), and another after they have been completed by means of an election petition. In my opinion, to affirm such a position would be contrary to the scheme of Part XV of the Constitution and the Representation of the People Act, which, as I shall point out later, seems to be that any matter which has the effect of vitiating an election should be brought up only at the appropriate stage in an appropriate manner before a special tribunal and should not be brought up at an intermediate stage before any court. It seems to me that under the election law, the only significance which the rejection of a nomination paper has consists in the fact that it can be used as a ground to call the election in question. Article 329(b)was apparently enacted to prescribe the manner in which and the stage at which this ground, and other grounds which may be raised under the law to call the election in question could be urged. I think it follows by necessary implication from the language of this provision that those grounds cannot be urged in any other manner, at any other stage and before any other court. If the grounds on which an election can be called in question could be raised at an earlier stage and errors, if any, are rectified, there will be no meaning in enacting a provision like article 329 (b) and in setting up a special tribunal. Any other meaning ascribed to the words used in the article would lead to anomalies, which the Constitution could not have contemplated, one of them being that conflicting views may be ex- pressed by the High Court at the pre-polling stage and by the election tribunal, which is to be an independent body, at the stage when the matter is brought up before it.

20. It was argued that since the Representation of the People Act was enacted subject to the provisions of the Constitution, it cannot bar the jurisdiction of the High Court to issue writs under article 226 of the Constitution. This argument however is completely shut out by reading the Act along with article 329 (b). It will be noticed that the language used in that article and in section 80 of the Act is almost identical, with this difference only that the article is preceded by the words "notwithstanding anything in this Constitution". I think that those words are quite apt

108 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -109-

to exclude the jurisdiction of the High Court to deal with any matter which may arise while the elections are in progress.

xxxxx xxxx

24. It may be pointed out that article 329 (b) must be read as complimentary to clause (a) of that article. Clause (a) bars the jurisdiction of the courts with regard to such law as may be made under articles 327 and 328 relating to the delimitation of constituencies or the allotment of seats to such constituencies. It was conceded before us that article 329 (b) ousts the jurisdiction of the courts with regard to matters arising between the commencement of the polling and the final selection. The question which has to be asked is what conceivable reason the legislature could have had to leave only matters connected with nominations subject to the jurisdiction of the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution. If Part XV of the Constitution is a code by itself, i. e., it creates rights and provides for their enforcement by a special tribunal to the exclusion of all courts including the High Court, there can be no reason for assuming that the Constitution left one small part of the election process to be made the subject-matter of contest before the High Courts and thereby upset the time- schedule of the elections The more reasonable view seems to be that article 329 covers all "electoral matters".

25. The conclusions which I have arrived at may be summed up briefly as follows :--

(1) Having regard to the important functions which the legislatures have to perform in democratic countries, it has always been recognized to be a matter of first importance that elections should be concluded as early as possible according to time schedule and all controversial matters and all disputes arising out of elections should be postponed till after the elections are over, so that the election proceedings may not be unduly retarded or protracted.

(2) In conformity with this principle, the scheme the election law in this country as well as in England is that no significance should be attached to anything which does not affect the "election"; and if any irregularities are commit-

ted while it is in progress and they belong to the category or class which, under the law by which elections are governed, would have the effect of vitiating the' 'election"

and enable the person affected to call it in question, they should be brought up before a special tribunal by means of an election petition and not be made the subject of a dispute before any court while the election is in progress.

29. Thus, there are two types of decisions, two types of challenges. The first relates to proceedings which interfere with the progress of the election. The second accelerates the completion of the election and acts in furtherance of an election. So, the short question before us, in the light of the illumination derived from Ponnuswami, is as to whether the order for re-poll of the Chief Election Commissioner is "anything done towards the completion of the election proceeding' and whether the proceedings before the High Court facilitated the election process or halted its progress. The question immediately arises as to whether the relief sought in, the writ petition by the present appellant amounted to calling in question the election. This, in turn, revolves round the point as to whether the cancellation of the poll and the reordering of fresh poll is 'part of election' and challenging it is 'calling it in question'. 'PRITHVI RAJ VS. STATE ELECTION COMMISSION, PUNJAB AND ORS.

27. An "election", under the Municipal Act, commences with the issuance of a notification, by the State Government, under Section 13-A(2) of the Municipal Act. The election is thereafter held by the State Election Commission. The 'election' concludes, as provided in the aforementioned statutory provision, with the declaration of the result. Thus, a petition that "calls into question" an "election", during the period of the "election", would not be entertained, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Redress to any such grievance, would have to await the outcome of the election and then also would be urged, by filing an election petition, under the provisions of the Election Commission Act. The aforementioned conclusions, however, shall not be construed to oust the jurisdiction of a High Court, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. A High Court's power of judicial review is merely postponed, to a time and a stage, after the conclusion of the election and then also to a judicial appraisal of any judgment or order that may be passed by an Election Tribunal, duly constituted, in terms of Section 73 of Election Commission Act.

34. An appraisal of the provisions of Article 226 of the Constitution, and the judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, as noticed herein above, in our considered opinion, clearly postulate that once the electoral process commences, with the issuance of a notification, under the Municipal Act, any grievance, touching upon an "election"

would be justiciable, only by way of an election petition. Interference by Courts in election matters, after the commencement of the election process, would not be permissible, except to the limited extent noticed herein above.

conclusions as became drawn in the verdict (supra) rendered by the

Hon'ble Supreme Court in N.P.Ponnuswami's case, thus unfold that

a) Elections should be concluded as early as possible

according to the time schedule and all controversial matters and all

disputes arising out of elections should be postponed till after the elections

are over, so that the election proceedings may be not retarded or protracted.

b) The election laws as prevalent in this Country, do carry

the import that no significance should be attached to anything which does

not affect the election and that if any irregularities are committed while it

is in progress, and wherebys they would have the effect of vitiating the

election yet the person affected by such purported vitiations, thus has the

remedy to challenge the declaration of result, before a special Tribunal by

means of an election petition being filed and ;

c) that any subject covering a dispute relating to the

commission of any irregularities when the elections are in progress is not

amenable to be agitated before a Court of Law.

17. In terms of the above culled out principles of law, as carried in

the verdict (supra), the apt deduction therefrom naturally thereof, is that,

any purported irregularities arising from rejection of nomination papers, is

a dispute though may purportedly vitiate the election, but the said dispute

cannot at this stage be raised before this Court by the aggrieved.

Contrarily, the said dispute is to be agitated by the aggrieved, but only after

the declaration of the results, thus before the Election Tribunal concerned.

18. In sequel, in view of the above expostulations of law made in

verdict (supra), especially when the expostulations of law (supra) are not

reversed by a Bench strength of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, thus larger in

size vis-a-vis the Bench strength which delivered the verdict (supra), 111 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -112-

wherebys there is a complete bar, against the invocation of the writ remedy

by the aggrieved, even if the said grievance becomes hinged, upon, any

purported improper rejection of nomination papers. Moreover, in the wake

of the said grievance but purportedly vitiating the elections, rather the

remedy to the aggrieved, is only through the filing of an election petition

before the Election Tribunal concerned. Consequently, the said

expostulation of law is not required to be derogated from.

19. Furthermore, the principles (supra) rendered in

N.P.Ponnuswami' case (supra) became reiterated in the verdict rendered

by the Apex Court in 'Mohinder Singh Gill's case (supra). Consequently,

since the verdict (supra) reiterated the principles of law expounded by the

Apex Court in N.P.Ponnuswami' case (supra), thereupon, the said

reiterated principles, thus also apply with their fullest force, to the instant

case, wherebys there is a bar against the invocation of the writ remedy by

the aggrieved rather during the course of undertakings of the announced

election schedule, at the instance of the respondent.

Contentions of the learned Counsel for the petitioner(s)

20. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner(s) have yet

vociferously argued that the interim order passed by the Co-ordinate Bench

of this Court, wherebys the interim relief (supra) became granted, thus is

required to be made absolute. Moreover, the counsel for the petitioner(s)

also argue that the core issue relating to the maintainability of the writ

petition, thus becomes aptly decided by the Co-ordinate Bench of this

Court. Therefore, they argue that the said observation(s)/findings recorded

in the order (supra) by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court rather be 112 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -113-

affirmed and maintained. Consequently, they argue that the respondent-

State be directed to re-draw a fresh election schedule for conducting fresh

elections to the Gram Panchayats in the State of Punjab.

21. Lastly, the learned Counsel for the petitioners have placed a

heavy reliance, upon a verdict rendered by the Apex Court in case titled as

Union Territory of Ladakh & Others Vs. Jammu and Kashmir

National Conference and Another, to which Civil Appeal No. 5707 of

2023 became assigned, whereins, the Apex Court after upholding the

verdict rendered by the learned Single Judge of the Jammu and Kashmir

High Court and which became later affirmed by the Division Bench of the

said Court, wherebys for want of allotment of election symbol to the

candidate concerned, despite nomination papers being found in order, thus

made an interference, with the announced election schedule or with the

announced election programme. Resultantly, the counsels for the

petitioner(s) submit, that therebys there is yet an empowerment in the Writ

Court, to even after the announcement of the election programme, to alter

the said programme, so as to enable the candidate concerned, who did not

become allotted the election symbols, after purported improper rejection of

the nomination papers, to therebys participate in a democratically held

election, especially when therebys his right to contest in a rig free and

impartial elections rather would become well facilitated. The said

argument becomes hinged on paragraphs No.29, 30, 31, 32 and 38 of the

said verdict, paragraphs whereof become extracted hereinafter.

29. In the present case, there is no conflict with any other stakeholder for the reason that the Plough symbol is neither a symbol exclusively allotted to any National or State Party nor one of the symbols shown in 113 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -114-

the list of free symbols. Thus, there was and is no impediment in such symbol being granted to R1. This is also fortified in the factual setting of the Plough symbol being the reserved symbol for R1 in the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir and even for the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, as it now exists, where the same symbol stands allotted to it.

30. The contention of the learned ASG for the Appellants that the Plough symbol cannot be allotted, neither has been supported by any reason nor any legal impediment to such grant has been shown. In the absence of anything contrary in any rule framed for conduct of the elections in question, relating to allotment of symbols, the provisions of the 1968 Order can safely be relied upon, at the very least, as a guideline to exercise of executive power of like nature. Thus, a harmonious reading of Paragraphs 9, 10, 10(A) and 12 would clearly indicate that under the terms of the 1968 Order, the request of R1 is not bereft of justification. At the cost of repetition, the Court would indicate that nothing substantive has been shown to this Court to indicate that allotment of the Plough symbol would in any way be an infraction or go against the public interest.

31. Another major issue canvassed by the learned ASG on behalf of the Appellants, to the effect that no relief be granted to R1 due to the election process having reached the penultimate stage, unfortunately, has also to be noted to be rejected. Having chosen, with eyes open, to not comply with successive orders of the learned Single Judge and the learned Division Bench, both of which were passed well in time, such as not to stall/delay the notified election schedule, the Appellants cannot be permitted to plead that interference by us at this late juncture should not be forthcoming.

32. The Court would categorically emphasize that no litigant should have even an iota of doubt or an impression (rather, a misimpression) that just because of systemic delay or the matter not being taken up by the Courts resulting in efflux of time the cause would be defeated, and the Court would be rendered helpless to ensure justice to the party concerned. It would not be out of place to mention that this Court can even turn the clock back, if the situation warrants such dire measures. The powers of this Court, if need be, to even restore status quo ante are not in the realm of any doubt. The relief(s) granted in the lead opinion by Hon. Khehar, J. (as the learned Chief Justice then was), concurred with by the other 4 learned Judges, in Nabam Rebia and Bamang Felix v 114 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -115-

Deputy Speaker, Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly, (2016) 8 SCC 1 is enough on this aspect. We know full well that a 5- Judge Bench in Subhash Desai v Principal Secretary, Governor of Maharashtra, 2023 SCC OnLine SC 607 has referred Nabam Rebia (supra) to a Larger Bench. However, the questions referred to the Larger Bench do not detract from the power to bring back status quo ante. That apart, it is settled that mere reference to a larger Bench does not unsettle declared law. In Harbhajan Singh v State of Punjab, (2009) 13 SCC 608, a 2- Judge Bench said:

"15. Even if what is contended by the learned counsel is correct, it is not for us to go into the said question at this stage; herein cross-examination of the witnesses had taken place. The Court had taken into consideration the materials available to it for the purpose of arriving at a satisfaction that a case for exercise of jurisdiction under Section 319 of the Code was made out. Only because the correctness of a portion of the judgment in Mohd. Shafi [(2007) 14 SCC 544 : (2009) 1 SCC (Cri) 889 : (2007) 4 SCR 1023 : (2007) 5 Scale 611] has been doubted by another Bench, the same would not mean that we should wait for the decision of the larger Bench, particularly when the same instead of assisting the appellants runs counter to their contention."

(emphasis supplied) xxxxxx

38. The reasoning of the learned Single Judge, further expounded by the learned Division Bench, leaves no doubt that the relief sought by R1 was required to be granted and, accordingly, the same was granted by the High Court. The stark factor which stares us in the face is that well before and well in time, by way of the writ petition, R1 had approached the Court of first instance (the learned Single Judge), for the reliefs, which have been found due to them ultimately, and upheld by the Appellate Court (the learned Division Bench). It is the Appellants, who by virtue of sheer non-compliance of the High Court's orders, be it noted, without any stay, can alone be labelled responsible for the present imbroglio. These stark facts cannot be broadly equated with other hypothetical scenarios, wherein the facts may warrant a completely hands-off approach.

22. Though the counsels for the petitioner(s) in the light of the

verdict rendered in case titled as Union Territory of Ladakh & Others

Vs. Jammu and Kashmir National Conference and Another (supra)

have vociferously argued, that since evident statutory breaches have been 115 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -116-

caused to the statutory provisions (supra), thereupons, this Court may

become well constrained to not only declare the instant writ petition(s) to

be maintainable but also stay the conducting of the elections, besides to

pass a mandamus upon the respondent concerned, to re-draw the election

programme.

Reasons for rejecting the submissions of the counsel for the petitioner(s).

23. However, to the considered mind of this Court, the

expostulations of law, as carried in the relevant paragraphs of the verdicts

pronounced in case N.P.Ponnuswami Vs. Union of India and Others

(supra), in case Mohinder Singh Gill and Anr. Vs. The Chief Election

Commissioner and Others (supra) and in case 'West Bengal, State

Election Commission and Ors. (supra), when do candidly, make an

expostulation of law, to the extent that the constitutional bar, created in the

relevant constitutional provision (supra), rather against the makings of any

interferences in the announced election programme, when also but

embraces the entire gamut of the election process, commencing from the

filing of the nomination papers and lasting upto the declaration of results,

whereupons, the all encompassed thereins election processes', thus require

no interference therewiths being made rather at any stage by the Courts of

law. Apparently, the said trite expostulations of law as carried thereins,

when do cover the subject at hand, therefore, the asked for mandamus

cannot be passed by this Court.

24. Conspicuously for the reason that in paragraph No. 34, of the

verdict rendered by the Apex Court in case titled as 'West Bengal State

116 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -117-

Election Commission Vs. Communist Party of India (Marxist) (supra),

para whereof is extracted hereinafter, the Apex Court, thus had

discountenanced the passing of a mandamus by the Calcutta High Court,

wherebys a direction was made upon the respondent concerned, to re-draw

the election programme. Therefore, the asked for mandamus is never

passable, as prima facie, appears to be done by the Co-ordinate Bench of

this Court nor is passable by this Court nor the interim relief granted by the

Co-ordinate Bench of this Court can be made absolute nor the election

petition(s) are maintainable.

34. For the reasons indicated earlier, we allow the appeals and set aside the impugned judgment and order of the Calcutta High Court directing the acceptance of nominations in the electronic form. Pending applications, if any, are also disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

25. The judgment delivered by the Apex Court in case Union

Territory of Ladakh & Others Vs. Jammu and Kashmir National

Conference and Another (supra) also is clearly distinguishable, on two

counts:

1) Allotments of election symbol being made thereins, thus to facilitate

the candidate therein to participate in a democratically held election.

2) The decisions respectively passed by the Single Bench of the Jammu

and Kashmir High Court and the affirming thereto decision passed by the

Division Bench of that High Court, were apparently drawn much, before

the completion of the election schedule, therebys, there was no breach to

the trite canon of law declared in verdict titled as N.P.Ponnuswami Vs.

Union of India and Others (supra), in case titled as Mohinder Singh

Gill and Anr. Vs. The Chief Election Commissioner and Others (supra) 117 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -118-

besides in case titled as 'West Bengal, State Election Commission and

Ors. (supra), wherebys, there is a complete interdiction against the High

Courts, to in the exercisings of writ jurisdiction, thus to make an

interference with the electoral process or to make any tinkerings with the

announced election programme.

3) A circumspect reading of paragraph No. 31, as carried in the verdict

(supra), does clearly brings forth a crystal clear underlining, that the

verdicts challenged before the Apex Court, were passed so as to not make

any interference with the notified election schedule. Furthermore, it has

also specifically underlined therein, that the appellant before the Apex

Court, yet chose to not comply with the said well made orders. Resultantly

the appellants were declared to become estopped to plead that any

interference at the belated stage is barred to be made. Tritely, when there

was no interference as such, in the announced election programme, rather

with the appellant in the said case despite palpably omitting to comply

with the well timed orders passed by the learned Single Judge of Jammu

and Kashmir High Court and by the Division Bench of the said High

Court, yet proceeding to make a challenge thereto, therebys thus, the

Hon'ble Apex Court after dismissing the SLP (supra) passed directions

upon the appellant to allot the election symbol to the candidate concerned.

Moreover, thereins there were no irregularities relating to the nomination

papers but only when the nomination papers thereins being found in order,

yet the election symbols remaining untenably unallotted, whereas, the

allotment of election symbol to the candidate concerned after acceptance

of his nomination papers, rather was a statutory necessity for enabling the 118 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -119-

candidate concerned, to exercise his right to contest a democratically held

election. In sequel, the Apex Court on account of the omission (supra) by

the appellant in the SLP (supra), to not comply with the well timed orders

passed by the Jammu and Kashmir High Court, thus proceeded to direct

the appellants to allot the election symbol to the candidate concerned.

26. Since in the instant cases there is no dispute with respect of

non allotment of election symbols to the candidate concerned, after

acceptance of the nomination papers. Contrarily, when the subject dispute

relates to improper rejection of the nomination papers. As such, in view of

the supra principles of law, as become culled out by this Court, from the

verdicts (supra) rendered by the Hon'ble Apex Court, therebys, vis-a-vis

the subject in dispute, thus no iota of jurisdiction becomes bestowed upon

this Court, to tinker with the already announced election programme.

Arguments with regard to the observation(s) made in para No. 21 of the order passed by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court that a candidature should not be rejected without affording an opportunity of hearing and even an opportunity to make correction in an error shall be provided at the time of scrutiny.

27. The learned State counsel has argued that the Court has

misread the statutory provisions as occur in Section 41 of the 'Act of 1994.

As per Section 41 (7) of the 'Act of 1994', the Returning Officer is duty

bound to affix it on the notice board of his office, the list of the validly

nominated candidates and not of the rejected candidates.

28. That infact the judgment passed by the Apex Court in case

titled as "N.P. Ponnuswami vs Union of India and Others (supra), thus

covering the same proposition i.e., qua a challenge relating to the rejection

119 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -120-

of nomination papers of the candidate, whereins the Hon'ble Apex Court

after discussing the scope of Article 329(b) of the Constitution of India,

had ultimately concluded that therebys there is exclusion of power to be

exercised by the High Courts under Article 226 of the Constitution of

India. As such, the said argument is liable to be rejected.

29. Furthermore, since though provisions of Section 41 of the 'Act

of 1994' and Rule 11 of the Punjab Panchayat Election Rules, 1994, do

make an injunction upon the Returning Officer to endorse on each

nomination papers his decision relating to either accepting or rejecting the

same besides encumbers upon him a statutory duty to record brief

statement of reasons in case the nomination papers are rejected. The said

provisions are extracted hereinafter.

41. Scrutiny of nominations.--

(1) On the date fixed for the scrutiny of nominations under section 35, the candidates, their election agents, one proposer of each candidate and one other person duly authorised in writing by each candidate, but no other person, may attend at such time and place as the Returning Officer may appoint, and the Returning Officer shall give them all reasonable facilities for examining the nomination papers of all candidates which have been delivered within the time and in the manner laid down in section 38.

(2) The Returning Officer shall then examine the nomination papers and shall decide all objections which may be made to any nomination and may, either on such objection or on his own motion, after such summary inquiry, if any, as he thinks necessary, reject the nomination on any of the following grounds, namely:-- (a) that on the date fixed for the scrutiny of nominations, the candidate either is not qualified or is disqualified for being chosen to fill the seat under this Act; or (b) that there has been a failure to comply with any of the provisions of section 38 or section 39.

(3) Nothing contained in clause (b) of sub-section (2) shall be deemed to authorise the rejection of the nomination of any candidate on the ground of any irregularity in respect of a nomination paper, if the candidate has been duly

120 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -121-

nominated by means of another nomination paper in respect of which no irregularity has been committed (4) The Returning Officer shall not reject any nomination paper on the ground of any defect which is not of a substantial character. (5) The Returning Officer shall endorse on each nomination paper his decision accepting or rejecting the same and, if the nomination paper is rejected, shall record in writing a brief statement of his reasons for such rejection. (6) For the purposes of this section, a certified copy of an entry in the electoral roll for the time being in force of the constituency shalt be conclusive evidence of the fact that the person referred to in that entry is an elector for that constituency, unless it is proved that he is subject to a disqualification specified under this Act.

(7) Immediately after all the nomination papers have been scrutinised and decisions accepting or rejecting the same have been recorded, the Returning Officer shall prepare a list of validly nominated candidates, that is to say, candidates whose nominations have been found valid, and affix it to the notice board of his office.

(Rule 11 of the Election Rules, 1994)

11. Scrutiny of nomination papers and decision of objections (Section 41) (1) The Returning Officer shall examine the nomination papers at the time appointed in this behalf, hear objections, if any, presented by the objectors in person as to the eligibility of any candidate and determine these objections after such enquiry as he may consider necessary. The decision rejecting or accepting a nomination paper and brief statement of reasons thereof shall be endorsed on the nomination paper and signed by the Returning Officer. Provided that the Returning Officer may--

(a) permit any clerical error in the nomination paper in regard to names or numbers to be corrected in order to bring them in conformity with the corresponding entries in the electoral rolls: and

(b) where necessary, direct that any clerical or printing error in the said entries shall be overlooked.

(2) The person objecting under sub-rule (1) must be a candidate of the concerned Panchayat or Sabha Area, as the case may be.

30. However, though as revealed by Annexure P-4 (in CWP-

27163-2024) for instance, Annexure whereof is extracted hereinafter, that

121 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -122-

there is but an ex facie breach caused to the statutory mandate (supra) to

the extent that no detailed order for rejection has been recorded.

Name of Village/Panchayat - Randhawa Colony

Sr. No. Candidate Ward No. Sarpanch/Panch Nomination accepted or rejected

1. Randeep Kaur Sarpanch Rejected

2. Kuldeep Kaur Sarpanch Rejected

3. Surinder Singh W1 Panch Accepted

4. Amarjot Singh W2 Panch Rejected

5. Amrik Singh W3 Panch Accepted

xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

31. However, if any breach has been done to the above, yet the

relief to mitigate the said breach thus cannot be agitated at this stage before

this Court. The reason being that therebys this Court would be

transgressing the clear expressions (supra) rendered by the Hon'ble Apex

Court, wherebys there is a complete bar against the High Court, to in the

exercise of the writ jurisdiction, thus make any tinkerings with the

announced election programme, even on the touchstone of their being

improper rejection of the nomination papers, besides the said nomination

papers being rejected without adherence rather being made by the

Returning Officer concerned, qua the necessity (supra). Contrarily, if

therebys the election process is vitiated, yet the purported therebys

vitiation caused to the election process, is redressable not at this stage, but

only through an election petition becoming filed.

32. Fortifying strength to the above inference becomes drawn

from the provision carried in Sub Section (1)(c) of Section 89 of the 'Act of

1994', wherebys one amongst the various grounds as set forth thereins, to 122 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -123-

challenge an election, thus is the ground relating to the improper rejection

of nomination papers, be it on the ground(s), thus also covering the

premise that there being gross transgression qua the statutory duties cast

upon the Returning Officer concerned, rather arising from cryptic non

speaking order of rejection being passed by the Returning Officer

concerned. Even otherwise the said is a disputed question of fact and

cannot be decided in the instant petition rather the said fact can be

clinchingly decided only in an election petition, as thereins, on the

contested pleadings, the issues are to be formulated besides evidence has to

be adduced on the said formulated issues. However, the said exercise for

clinchingly resting any disputed question of fact, thus cannot be

undertaken in the instant writ proceedings.

Further submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner(s).

33. The learned counsel for the petitioner(s) have further

vehemently argued that the schedule of the elections, did not provide

sufficient time to the candidates concerned, to file nomination papers.

Resultantly, they contend that the democratic right of the candidate(s)

concerned, to participate in the elections rather has been truncated.

However, the said argument becomes rudderless in the face of the

provisions of Section 35 of the 'Act of 1994', provisions whereof become

extracted hereinafter.

35. Appointment of dates for nominations, etc.-- As soon as the notification calling upon a constituency to elect a member or members is issued, the Election Commission shall, by notification in the Official Gazette, appoint --

(a) the last date for making nominations, which shall be the Third day after the date of publication of the first mentioned notification, or, if that 123 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -124-

day is a public holiday, the next succeeding day which is not a public holiday;

(b) the date for the scrutiny of nominations, which shall be the day immediately following the last date for making nominations or, if that day is a public holiday, the next succeeding day which is not a public holiday;

(c) the last date for the withdrawal of candidatures, which shall be the First day after the date for the scrutiny of nominations or, if that day is a public holiday, the next succeeding day which is not a public holiday;

(d) the date or dates on which a poll shall, if necessary, be taken, which or the first of which shall be a date not earlier than the Seventh day but not later than the Tenth day after the last date for the withdrawal of the candidatures; and

(e) the date before which the election shall be completed.

34. In terms of the said provisions, the State Election

Commission, Punjab has published notification dated 27.09.2024,

notification whereof is extracted hereinafter. A reading of the said

notification would reveal, that the said schedule/programme, was made in

conformity with the provisions (supra), therebys, the argument raised by

the counsel for the petitioner(s) has no force and is rejected.

Further arguments of the learned counsel for the petitioners.

35. The learned for the petitioner(s) have also relied upon a

judgment rendered by the Division Bench of this Court in case titled as

Jagdev Singh and Others Vs. State of Punjab and Others, to which

CWP No. 12348 of 2015 became assigned, whereby they contend that yet

there is a bestowment of jurisdiction in this Court, to even at this stage

make an interference with the announced election schedule.

36. However, the said argument is rejected, as in the judgment

(supra), the ground shown for rejection of the nomination papers was that

'the voter number of candidate, proposer and seconder do not tally with

voter list'. Moreover, the said petition became allowed only in view of the

provisions of Section 38 (4) of the 'Act of 1994' and Rule 11 (1) (a) of the

Election Rules, 1994, provision whereof are extracted hereinafter,

wherebys, there is permissibility in the Returning Officer to enable the

makings of corrections of any bona fide or clerical errors.

37. Since none of the petitioner(s) either averred nor prima facie,

proved that any statutorily curable clerical error existed in the rejected

nomination papers and yet no opportunity in terms of the provisions

(supra) becoming granted to redress the said error. Consequently, no

leverage can be drawn either from the verdict (supra) nor from the

hereafter extracted statutory provisions as embodied in Rule 11 of the

Election Rules, 1994.

38. Presentation of nomination paper and requirements for a valid nomination.-

(1) xxxx (2) xxxx (3) xxxx (4) On the presentation of nomination paper, the Returning Officer shall satisfy himself that the names and electoral roll numbers of the candidates and his proposer as entered in the nomination paper are the same as those entered in the electoral rolls.

Provided that no misnomer or inaccurate description or clerical or technical or printing error in regard to the name of the candidate or his proposer or any other person, or in regard to any place, mentioned in the electoral roll or the nomination paper and no clerical or technical or printing error in regard to the electoral rolls numbers of any such person in the electoral roll or the nomination paper, shall affect the full operation of the electoral roll or the nomination paper with respect to such person or place in any case where the description in regard to the name of the person or place is such as to be commonly understood; and the Returning 126 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

Officer shall permit any such misnomer or inaccurate description or clerical or technical or printing error to be corrected and where necessary direct that any such misnomer, inaccurate description, clerical or technical or printing error in the electoral roll or in the nomination paper shall be overlooked.

(Rule 11 of the Election Rules, 1994)

11. Scrutiny of nomination papers and decision of objections (1) xxxx Provided that the Returning Officer may -

(a) permit any clerical error in the nomination paper in regard to names or numbers to be corrected in order to bring them in conformity with the corresponding entries in the electoral rolls ; and

(b) where necessary, direct that any clerical or printing error in the said entries shall be overlooked.

38. Assumingly, if there is any such clerical error which is as such

curable, therebys, if the said has vitiated the election(s), yet the remedy to

the aggrieved is to file an election petition before the Election Tribunal

concerned.

Arguments with regard to exercise of NOTA option (none of the above).

39. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner(s)

that even if only one candidate is left in the fray, yet the respondents were

required to hold the elections between that candidate and NOTA. In this

regard, the learned State counsel has referred to a judgment rendered by

the High Court of Andhra Pradesh in case titled as A.V.Badra Naga

Seshayya Vs. State of Andhra Pradesh, to which Writ Petition (PIL)

No. 131 of 2020 became assigned. The relevant paragraph as occur in the

said verdict is extracted hereinafter.

As per the said Rules, in case of Postal Ballot Papers used for conduct of poll at polling stations with Ballot Boxes or Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), provision is required to be made for 'None of the Above' (NOTA). In cases where candidates have been declared uncontested, NOTA do not apply, looking to the legislative intent, because option may be permitted to be exercised on contest of election. During deliberations, while discussing on the nomenclature of NOTA, it 127 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -128-

clearly reflects that this contingency applies in case where there is contest of election and as per the language set up in Rule 35-A of the Rules also, it reflects that, when there is an election through Ballot Boxes or EVMs., only then, the said option can be exercised. Looking to the said legislative intent and amendment of the word NOTA, the relief as prayed for cannot be granted; however, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the State Government or the Central Government to do the needful for the cause espoused in this public interest litigation.

In view of the aforesaid, we are not inclined to interfere in this writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs.

40. The learned State counsel has further alluded to Section 54 of

the 'Act of 1994', provisions whereof become extracted hereinafter.

54. Procedure in contested and uncontested elections.-- (1) If the number of contesting candidates is more than the number of seats to be filled, a poll shall be taken.

(2) If the number of such candidates is equal to the number of seats to be filled, the Returning Officer shall forthwith declare all such candidates to be duly elected to fill those seats.

(3) If the number of such candidates is less than the number of seats to be filled, the Returning Officer shall forthwith declare all such candidates to be elected and the Election Commission shall, by notification in the Official Gazette, call upon the constituency or the elected members, to elect a person or persons to fill the remaining seat or seats, as the case may be:

Provided that where the constituency or the elected members having already been called upon under this sub-section, has or have failed to elect a person or the requisite number of persons, as the case may be, to fill the vacancy or vacancies, the Election Commission shall not be bound to call again upon the constituency, or such members to elect a person or persons until it is satisfied that if called upon again, there will be no such failure on the part of the constituency of such members "

41. Since Sub Section (3) of Section 54 of the 'Act of 1994' makes

a candid expression, that when the number of candidates contesting against

a particular seat, is less than the number of seats to be filled, and/or

wherebys the implication, is that, in case only a single candidate is left in

the fray, therebys, a statutory injunction is made upon the Returning

Officer, to forthwith declare elected thus as unopossed, hence the singular

candidate left in the fray. Consequently, when no elections became held to

128 of 129 ::: Downloaded on - 17-10-2024 23:08:13 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2024:PHHC:135791-DB

CWP-26745-2024 and connected cases -129-

the seat concerned, nor also when there was any necessity for the electorate

through theirs entering the polling booth concerned, to thus exercise

NOTA. Resultantly, the non assigning of any right of NOTA to the

electorate concerned, rather is completely irrelevant. The said exercising of

NOTA by the Electorate would arise only, if there was a contest amongst at

least two candidates. Contrarily, when there is no contest, especially, also

when even Sub Section (3) of Section 54 of the 'Act of 1994' makes a

statutory injunction upon the Returning Officer, to thus declare elected as

unopposed, thus even the singular candidate who is left in the fray. As

such, when there is no breach made to the statutory provision (supra).

Resultantly the non assigning of an opportunity to the electorate to exercise

NOTA, but also therebys becomes reiteratedly inconsequential.

Final Order of this Court.

42. In aftermath, this Court finds no merit in the writ petition(s)

(supra) and with the observation(s) aforesaid, the same are dismissed. The

interim order(s) as passed by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, in the

respective writ petition(s), are vacated.

43. Since the main cases itself have been decided, thus, all the

pending application(s), if any, are disposed of as such.
