In these Writ Petitions filed on the eleventh hour, the petitioners bemoan that they are facing grave threats to life on their person. They assert that they would not be permitted to canvas for votes due to the incessant threats raised against them.

According to them, technology has progressed to such an extent that it is perfectly possible for the Election Commission to set up cameras in and around the polling booth and carry out webcasting which would dissuade the troublemakers from interfering with the election process. In some of the writ petitions, directions are sought to be issued to the Election Commission to ensure that impersonation of voters and casting of bogus votes are avoided.

In the cases wherein, the Election Commission has been arrayed as a respondent, statements have been filed narrating the steps taken by the Election Commission to ensure a transparent, fair and trouble free election. Since some of the candidates asserted that the booths are hypersensitive, the Election Commission was directed to file the list of booths that they have categorised as sensitive and hypersensitive. In the statement, which has been filed, it has been stated inter alia as follows: “2. There are 2,76,20493 voters in Kerala for the Local Self Government Institutions election.

The District Election Officers as well as the observers and other high level officers of the State are closely monitoring the election and as and when fresh inputs are received, the concerned officers shall initiate action and ensure that no person or group of persons interfere with the free and fair conduct of the election. In the event of any deficiency or irregularity being pointed out by the Election Commission, the same would be corrected and no effort shall be spared. It is further submitted that if any of the candidates or their election agent faces any threat while canvassing the votes, it is for them to bring the fact to the WP(C). No.

26515 OF 2020 and connected cases 43 notice of the Superintendent of Police concerned and the said officer shall look into the issue and if the threats are found genuine, they shall ensure that the lives of the candidates and their agent are protected. In those petitions where complaints have been lodged before the local police or the superior officers, the complaints shall be looked into and if the threat is found genuine, enough protection shall be granted upto the date of election so that they can canvas votes and reach the voters in a threat free manner. 5. I have carefully considered the submissions advanced and have meticulously gone through the statement as well as the records made available. 6. The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments were passed by Parliament in December, 1992 and it was through these amendments that two new parts were added to the Constitution.

The 73rd Amendment added Part IX titled “The Panchayats” and 74th Amendment added Part IXA titled “The Municipalities”. The Local bodies–‘Panchayats’ and ‘Municipalities’ came under Part IX and IXA of the Constitution after 43 years of India becoming a republic. The Panchayats and Municipalities are “institutions of self-governments” and their seats are filled up in a democratic manner by direct elections. 7. From the records made available it appears that there are about 1200 local governments in Kerala, which includes 941 Grama Panchayats, 152 Block Panchayats, 14 District Panchayats, 77 Taluks, 87 Municipalities and 6 Municipal Corporations. The local bodies are responsible for implementation of various Centrally-sponsored, State-funded, and Externally-aided schemes for poverty WP(C). No. 26515 OF 2020 and connected cases 44 alleviation, employment generation, sanitation, capacity building, women’s social and economic empowerment apart from provision of basic amenities and services.

In other words, under the Constitutional scheme, for a more effective development at the grassroot level, vast powers are granted to the local self government institutions. It is because of the effective involvement of well meaning people in the grassroot level that the Public Affairs Index published a few months back indexing the entire States in the country revealed that Kerala is the best-governed State. It needs no reiteration that it is in the interest of the citizenry that elections to the local body are conducted in a free and fair manner and well meaning candidates, who are honest and competent, with integrity and good conscience, get elected to the local bodies. It is in order to effectuate the said purpose that an independent Election Commission has been constituted in each of the States in the Country for superintendence, direction and control of the electoral rolls.

The duty cast upon the Election Commission to conduct and manage the election with the aid of the State Government machinery is onerous. 8. From the statement filed by the Election Commission, I am satisfied that the Election Commission, being fully aware of its responsibilities, have taken all measures possible to conduct the election in a free and fair manner. It is the duty of the officers of the State with particular emphasis to the police officers to aid the Election Commission to carry out its onerous responsibilities and to act with great alacrity and diligence. If both these stakeholders do their duty without fear and favour and in an unbiased manner, the citizenry will have continued faith in the WP(C). No. 26515 OF 2020 and connected cases 45 democratic process and they shall make their way to the polling booth on election day and cast their votes so that the democracy in this country may thrive. Police protection to the candidates and their election agents. 9.

In the writ petitions, the petitioners seek for assistance of the police to do canvassing without any threat or violence. The learned Government Pleaders have submitted that the entire might of the police in the State have been deployed to ensure that elections are held freely and fairly. From the statistics it appears that about 1. 68 lakhs persons have submitted nominations. It would not be possible for the police to extend protection to each and every candidate. However, in those petitions, wherein the candidates or their election agent have submitted complaints complaining of threat before the police, the Superintendent of Police of the area shall take note of the threat perceptions and grant protection to the candidates and their agents.

I have already recorded the submission of the standing counsel appearing for the Election Commission as well as the learned Senior Government Pleaders that no effort shall be spared to ensure a state of peace and calm in and around the polling booths on election day so that the voters can exercise their franchise in a free and fair manner. Facility for webcasting and video recording of election proceedings 10. In most of the writ petitions, the petitioners have sought for videography of the election proceedings. The learned standing counsel has filed an additional statement wherein it is stated that 1800 polling stations have been identified as hypersensitive and in all those polling stations, webcasting facilities WP(C). No. 26515 OF 2020 and connected cases 46 are being undertaken. 1100 polling stations are identified as sensitive and in all those polling stations, the Election Commission has already arranged for videography.

Since the Election Commission has taken the decision to identify the polling booths on the threat perceptions and intelligence reports given by the police, this Court will not be justified in interfering with the discretion of the Election Commission and the high level officers of the State in that regard. Though ideally, videography ought to have been provided in all booths due to the resource limitations it would not be possible to undertake such an activity. However, the Election Commission has identified accredited videographers and the candidates will be at liberty to approach the District Electoral Officer and on payment of necessary fees by the person as authorised by the candidate or his election agent, the Commission shall permit videography to be carried out.

I also record the submission of the learned standing counsel appearing for the Election Commission that the categorisation of polling booths as sensitive or hypersensitive at this point of time is not final and inputs are taken every day upto the date of polling and if new threat perceptions or incidence of violence or any election malpractice is detected, those polling booths may be categorised as sensitive or hypersensitive. I am of the view that the undertaking given by the Election Commission before this Court would serve the purpose and no further directions are warranted. Maintaining peace and tranquility on election day 11. In some of the writ petitions, the petitioners have sought for deployment of enough police personnel in and around the polling stations so that WP(C). No. 26515 OF 2020 and connected cases 47 an atmosphere of calm is maintained there. They also say that on previous instances there have been incidents of violence.

The learned standing counsel appearing for the Election Commission has emphatically stated before this Court that as per their directions, enough number of law enforcement officers specially trained for this purpose have been posted and they are satisfied with the arrangements made by the State. The learned Government Pleader has assured this Court that no efforts shall be spared to secure a state of calm in and around the polling stations so that the voters exercise their franchise with apprehension or fear. At the same time, it cannot be forgotten that even the Election Commission have categorised as many as 2900 polling stations as sensitive out of which 1800 stations are hypersensitive. In such polling stations, the administration shall take a zero tolerance stand on election malpractices and violence and enough police personnel shall be posted to ensure that not a single voter is deprived of his rights to exercise his/her franchise.

Even in polling stations which have not been categorised as sensitive and in those cases wherein the candidates or the election agents are before this Court in these writ petitions, enough number of police personnel shall be posted to rule out any incidents of violence or election malpractice. Prevent electoral malpractices such as impersonation and bogus voting 12. The grievance regarding impersonation and bogus voting though raised by the petitioners, such a possibility would be non existent as the issuance of valid WP(C). No. 26515 OF 2020 and connected cases 48 voter IDs and the availability of the photograph of the voter in the voters slip and the provisions of the Act with regard to identification of voters would obliterate such issues. I also record the submission of the learned standing counsel appearing for the Election Commission that all measures have been taken to avoid bogus voting and impersonation and the provisions and other guidelines shall strictly be enforced.

The videography and webcasting would also dissuade such impersonators from committing election malpractices. 13. Before parting I would like to reiterate the observations of their Lordships of the Division Bench of this Court in Reghunath K. M. v. Inspector General of Police and Ors. [2011 (3) KHC 614], when it said that peaceful polling and free and fair elections cannot merely be left to the Election Commission or the police. It is for the members of the polity to realize the importance of exercise of franchise and to act with the sense of responsibility. This would include the political parties, their leaders and workers. 14. The petitioners are directed to produce a copy of the judgment before the District Police Chief concerned in those cases wherein they have sought for police protection for their lives. If their grievance is found genuine, the officer shall provide them effective protection from any threat or harassment as apprehended.

These writ petitions are accordingly disposed of recording the submissions of the learned standing counsel appearing for the Election Commission and the learned Government Pleaders and with additional directions which have been WP(C). No. 26515 OF 2020 and connected cases 49 issued by this Court. This Court expects that the undertaking given before this Court shall be adhered to strictly so that elections to the LSG Institutions can be held in a free and fair manner.
