JUDGMENT Mr. Sanjay Kishan Kaul, J. (Oral) - We have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly states that since the election process has been set in motion and elections are scheduled for 3.7.2013, it may not be possible for this Court to intervene in the election process. He, however, submits that at least for future elections, it must be kept in mind that data of 2011-Census is available and, thus, the reservation of seats should be fixed keeping that census in mind. 3. In view of the aforesaid discussion, we consider it appropriate to direct the State Government to keep the aspect of new census in mind while fixing the schedule of other elections. 4. Writ petition accordingly stands disposed of. ---------0.B.S.0------------ —————————
