BENGALURU: A District Registrar cannot assume power of a civil court to consider the importance of evidence in election matters in the garb of conducting enquiry under section 25 of the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, the high court has observed in a recent judgement.
"Conduct of elections or declaration of elected candidates or a direction seeking holding of fresh election will have to be before the competent civil court", Justice M Nagaprasanna has said in his order while dismissing a petition filed by Sa Ra Govindu and others.
