Entroling bogus members in Electoral voter list...

(Querist) 30 October 2010 This query is : Resolved 
Dear sir,
What is punishment for a Govt official who encorages (By not doing a proper field inspection)entroling of bogus members in Electoral voter list?
Parthasarathi Loganathan (Expert) 30 October 2010
Enrollment is made based on some proof or evidences submitted by the applicant. One needs to establish this grass root fact first.
s.subramanian (Expert) 30 October 2010
It id very serious and heinous crime of fabrication of public records in IPC.
Parthasarathi Loganathan (Expert) 30 October 2010
But Government officials can always escape from the clutches of law on the pretext of enrollment purely based on such fabricated facts and evidences submitted by the applicant.

Lodge a complaint to the Central Vigilance Department.

Thank u sir. This is a serious problem. Some officials help them for retaining in the list though we gave the Form 7 for deletion of their names from the list. But they didnt do so.. i want to know whether they (officials) can be punished by Representation of peoples act?
Parthasarathi Loganathan (Expert) 30 October 2010
No provisions under Representation of People's Act.
Kirti Kar Tripathi (Expert) 31 October 2010
I agree with Mr. Ramchandran in this regard. However, you can seek this remedy in writ direction to Election Commissioner to take appropriate action against these officials.
M.A.BHARATHI (Querist) 31 October 2010
ok sir, thank u for ur valuable advice

It is not easy now as you are making out , since names without photos are being deleted as a rule.
