The Principal Secretary (Pw) vs Ashok Kumar on 23 March, 2015
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

Karnataka Power Corporation Ltd ... vs K. Thangappan & Anr on 4 April, 2006
6. On the point of inordinate delay, learned counsel submits that,
the writ petition is hit by inordinate delay and laches, inasmuch as, the
filing of election expenditure report relates to 2018, whereas, the writ

providing any explanation for the delay in preferring the same. He
submits that, the fact that, the writ petition was filed only in December,
2022, clearly shows that the same is actuated by political motive, as it

has been filed immediately prior to the 2023 elections, at the behest of
the political party, to which the petitioner belongs. Learned counsel has
placed the following decisions, in support of his contentions, namely City
and Industrial Development Corp. Vs. Dosu Aardeshir Bhiwandiwala,
(2009) 1 SCC 168 and Karnataka Power Corp. Ltd. Vs. K. Thangappan,
(2006) 4 SCC 322.
