Shri. Saket S. Gokhale vs . Election Commission Of India & Ors. on 3 February, 2023
20. The abovenoted observation is being made, in view of the fact
that, the election process has already been set in motion and therefore,
apart from a proceeding under the Representation of the People Act,
1951, no other forum can adjudicate in such matters. No special
circumstances that, the writ petition has been filed in aid of and in
furtherance of the election process, are visible or apparent in any manner,
as the petitioner seeks that action be taken against the respondent No. 3,
which cannot be said to subserve the election process. Therefore, the
decision relied upon by the Senior Counsel for the petitioner that is
13
Election Commission of India through Secretary Vs. Ashok Kumar
(supra) is of no assistance to his case.
