A Coordinate Bench of this Court in the case of H.S.Raju vs. State of Karnataka & others1 has after considering the matter in detail come to a categorical conclusion that any irregularity in the conduct of election a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India would not be the proper remedy any dispute as regards the eligibility or ineligibility and the deficiencies in finalization of final electoral list, could only be considered in a dispute raised as regard the election under Section 70 (2) of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959 after the announcement of the results by counting even the votes cast by the petitioners. 5. The said judgment not having been challenged and having attained finality, the fact being more or less similar would equally apply to the present matter. 1 W.P.No.8502/2022 dated 7.6.2022 - 49 - NC: 2025:KHC:16140 W.P.
