JUDGMENT

K. Vinod Chandran, J.

These petitions were filed for police protection for conducting smooth elections to the Kudumbasree Unit within the Kizhakkambalam Grama Panchayat. We issued interim orders and the elections have been peacefully conducted and the Office bearers placed in Office. Hence the writ petitions are infructuous.

WP(C) No.415 of 2015 is filed by the CDS Chairperson of the CDS, Kizhakkambalam Gramapanchayat against the illegalities perpetrated in the election. Obviously the petitioner is now W.P(C). Nos.415 [B], 477[H]

&

541[P] of 2018 2 the former Chairperson because she failed to got elected. We can perfectly understand the anguish of a defeated candidate, but the only claim now is that Ext.P12 may be considered. Ext.P12 is said to be a representation against the alleged illegalities in the election. We are not looking at any of these on merits. The District Collector, if has authority, could very-well look into the same.

The above writ petitions are dismissed. No costs.
