Petitioner has invoked writ jurisdiction of this

Court assailing the election of respondent no. 4, who was

declared elected as Village Pradhan of Village Dhoomkheda,

Block Sitarganj, District Udham Singh Nagar on 29.06.2014.

Undisputedly, election of Village Pradhan can be

challenged under Section 12-C of the U.P. Panchayat Raj Act,

1947. Undisputedly, petitioner has not approached Election

Tribunal to challenge the election of respondent no. 4 within

time.

Mr. T.K. Nailwal, learned counsel for the petitioner,

submits that as per report of the SDM / Deputy Collector,

Sitarganj dated 23.02.2015 constituencies were wrongly

formulated / constituted, which has materially affected the

election.
