Mr. Swastik Saha …for the State 1. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that an appeal for restoration of her name in the Voter List is pending consideration before the District Electoral Officer, Dakshin Dinajpur. He prays for expeditious disposal of the case. 2. Having heard the learned counsels appearing for the respective parties, it appears that the prayer is simple and innocuous and there is no impediment to passing such order. 3. Accordingly, the District Electoral Officer, Dakshin Dinajpur is requested to consider and dispose of the Appeal preferred by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of communication of this order. 4. It is needless to mention that this court has not gone into the merits of the case and the same may be decided independently and in accordance with law without being influenced by any observations made by this court. 5. Accordingly, the instant writ petition stands disposed of. 6. Urgent certified photocopy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties taking all legal formalities.
