It is said, “We pay respect to residents such as Miral which stands at an important clock as a disciplined citizen in this country to expand his hand on the date of his sick father’s campaign.
We rarely find such instance.
We salute MS Miral Vyas for this movement It was shown by him.
“The court noticed that the government lacked staff for the task of polls due to the prevalence of Covid-19.
Justice J B B Pardiwala and Justice I J Vora quoted a vyas example when deciding the petition submitted by the Union Co-operative Bank Ltd and its employees, who were assigned to the duties of the poll, but most did not appear.
They have approached challenging the election commission’s decision to sue them for the assignment of the election quoting that the bank is not an instrumental state.
They also seek protection against possible actions by the government because they ignore the mandate.
The court said that the election was over and the problem was irrelevant.

HC has left it to the authorities if they intend to start any process in accordance with the law.
