Dated this the 5th day of April, 2022
JUDGMENT
The writ petition has been filed praying for a direction to
respondents 1 to 4 to increase the number of polling stations at least
to 4, at Chittoor, Vaduthala, Pachalam and Koramkotta Island for the
purpose of conducting free and fair election.
2. When the case is taken up today, the learned Senior
Government Pleader has placed before me the election notification
dated 31.03.2022 whereby the election has been fixed on 08.05.2022
and it has to be held at Cheranalloor Al-Farookkhia Higher Secondary
School between 9.00 am and 4.00 pm.
There is a further prayer that the respondents may be directed to
videograph the election process. Since election is already notified there
can be no direction regarding increase of polling stations, this writ
petition is hence disposed with a direction to the Returning Officer to
videograph the election process at the cost of the petitioners.
