Union Territory Of Ladakh & Ors vs Jammu & Kashmir National Conference And ... on 14 August, 2023
31. The other decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court relied upon by
learned Counsel for the writ petitioners is in the case of the Union Territory
of Ladakh, (Supra). The controversy involved in that case was non-
allocation of a particular symbol to the writ petitioner which was the
respondent no. 1 before the Hon'ble Supreme Court. The learned single
Judge entertained a writ petition and passed an interim order directing the
concerned authorities to allot the Plough symbol to the writ petitioner. The
Division Bench dismissed the appeal preferred by the Union Territory of
Ladakh. The Supreme Court upheld the orders of the High Court and
dismissed the appeal preferred by the Union Territory of Ladakh. One of
the reasons, and it appears to us to be the primary reason for the Hon'ble
Supreme Court to intervene in the matter was, as observed in paragraph 31
24
of the reported judgment, "having chosen, with eyes open, to not comply
with successive orders of the learned Single Judge and the learned Division
Bench, both of which were passed well in time, such as not to stall / delay
the notified election schedule, the appellants cannot be permitted to plead
that interference by us at this late juncture should not be forthcoming."

People'S Union Of Civil Liberties ... vs Union Of India & Anr on 13 March, 2003
In so far as the case of the People's Union for Civil Liberties and
Anr. v. Union of India & Anr. (supra) is concerned, which was relied upon
by the writ petitioners, that case considered the question as to whether or
not the electronic voting machines should have provision for a 'None of the
Above' (NOTA) button. It was held that the EVMs should have such a
provision. The question of maintainability of a writ petition challenging an
election dispute was not an issue at all in that case.
The Block Development Officer & Anr vs Surajit Pramanik & Ors on 31 August, 2023
Although what was under challenge in
Surajit Pramanik's case was rejection of nomination papers by the
Panchayat Returning Officer, the same principles of law would apply. The
learned Single Judge had entertained the writ petition and had passed
certain directions. The Division Bench disagreed and reversed such decision
holding that in view of the law governing the field, the learned Judge ought
not to have entertained the writ petition.
