1.

The matter has been heard via video conferencing.

2.

Heard Mr. Vipin Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners; Mr. Rakesh Ambashtha, learned AC to AAG 7 for the State and Mr. Amit

Shrivastava, learned counsel along with Mr. Girish Pandey, learned counsel for the State Election Commission.

3.

The petitioners have moved the Court for the following reliefs:

“That the present application has been filed on behalf of the petitioners above-named for recall/modify the judgment/order dated

18.09.2017 passed by Hon’ble Mr. Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah in C.W.J.C. No. 8405/2017 whereby the writ application has been

disposed of considering the report submitted by Mr. Amit Shrivastava, learned counsel wherein it has been mentioned that the EVM for

Ward No. 8 has been taken out from a blue box after breaking the seal which is false report.â€​

4.

After hearing the matter for some time, the Court finds that what has been recorded in order dated 18.09.2017 passed in CWJC No. 8405 of 2017,

with regard to the position which was reflected after viewing the CD relating to opening of the blue box in which the EVM was kept, the stand of the

petitioners in the present case being that after going through copy of the CD provided to him, after disposal of the case, it does not show that the EVM

was sealed, is not a ground for the Court to recall/modify the judgment/order dated 18.09.2017 passed in CWJC No. 8405 of 2017, for the simple

reason that the report stated that the blue box, that is the cover in which the EVM is kept, was sealed which was reflected from the CD recording and

not that the EVM was sealed. The same has not been denied by the petitioners in the pleadings of the present case.

5.

Having regard to the aforesaid, the Court does not find that any ground has been made out for interference.

6.

Accordingly, the present application stands disposed off.
