                                Versus

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Presence:-
 Mr. Amar Murti Shukla, learned counsel for the appellant.
 Mr. Gajendra Tripathi, learned Standing Counsel for the State of
 Uttarakhand.
 Mr. Sanjay Bhatt, learned counsel for State Election
 Commission/respondent nos.2 to 5.
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 JUDGMENT :

(per Mr. G. Narendar C. J.)

Heard learned counsel for the appellant

and learned counsel for State Election

Commission.

2. This intra-court appeal is directed against

the order passed by the learned Single Judge,

whereby interim relief sought by the petitioner to

participate in the election process and cast his

vote was declined.

3. Since the election has already concluded

2025:UHC:6767-DB and the learned Single Judge has exercised his

discretion judiciously, we do not find any ground

to interfere with the same, consequently, the

present Special Appeal also virtually stands

rendered infructuous.

4. In that view of the matter, the writ

appeal is disposed of as having been rendered

infructuous. However, It is always open to the

petitioner to approach the Election Tribunal, in the

event, the petitioner is aggrieved by any action of

the respondent arising out of the election process.

5. The Special Appeal accordingly stands

disposed of.
