Ravi Shankar Tiwari vs State Of U.P. And Others on 25 October, 2013
In the background of the law laid down by the
various High Courts and also the judgment rendered by
the coordinate Bench, this Court has to examine the facts
and circumstances of the present case on hand. In the
present case on hand, this Court is more than satisfied
that there is no individual review. The respondent-Deputy
Commissioner by issuing a blanket order has set a
dangerous precedent for future elections. It could
encourage the authorities to resort to blanket orders as a
short circuit bypassing a meticulous review process
mandated by Election Commission. The object behind
surrender of firearms as stipulated by the Election
Commission guidelines and judicial pronouncements is to
uphold the integrity of electoral process and ensure
maintenance of law and order. The surrender of firearms
is envisaged as a measure to mitigate potential threats to
public safety and sanctity of democratic procedures during
elections.
