JUDGMENT
This Court as per the judgment dated 04.12.2025 in
W.P.(C) No.45460 of 2025 and connected cases, has already
issued general directions regarding police protection for the
General Election - 2025 to the local bodies. The same
directions can be issued in these cases as well.
Therefore, these Writ Petitions are disposed of in the
following manner:
1. The police authorities and the officers of the
State Election Commission will do the needful
WP(C) NO. 46069 OF 2025 and conn. cases 24
2025:KER:94942
to see that the General Election - 2025 to the
local bodies is smoothly conducted on 9th and
11th of December, 2025.
2. The State Police Chief and the jurisdictional
District Police Chief will do the needful for live
web casting and for deputing additional police
force in the booths which are identified by the
State Election Commission as hyper sensitive
booths and sensitive booths.
3. If any of the petitioners' want videography in
any of their polling booths, they can file an
application before the jurisdictional District
Election Officer within three days from today.
If such an application is filed, the jurisdictional
District Election Officers will allow
videography at the expense of the applicants'
concerned. If any application is already filed to
that effect, the same will be allowed at the
2025:KER:94942
expense of the applicants' concerned.
4. The petitioners are free to file appropriate
application for police protection to the life of
the candidates, their agents etc., before the
jurisdictional District Police Chief or
Commissioner of Police within three days. If
such an application is received, sufficient
protection should be given to those persons in
accordance with the law.
5. I make it clear that, if there is any law and
order problem, the State Police Chief and the
District Police Chief concerned will see that
additional police force is deputed to that area.
For that purpose, the candidates or their
agents can submit appropriate application and
if the police officers are convinced about the
genuineness of the same, the jurisdictional
police officers will do the needful to depute the
WP(C) NO. 46069 OF 2025 and conn. cases 26
2025:KER:94942
additional police force.
