form in the general election of Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly , 2013 , for the Constituency No.145 Basoda in District Vidisha. Respondent No.1 also submitted his nomination papers on 07.11.2013 . He has deliberately concealed the fact that he being a Director of Vijya Bank was holding the office of profit and as such , he is disqualified from contesting the election . Respondent No.1 was a Director of Vijya Bank and he was also indicted in various Committees of the Bank as member. He has received remuneration from Vijya Bank . Therefore , he was holding an office of profit under the Government. Respondent No.1 was ineligible for being elected as Member of Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly by concealing aforementioned fact . Respondent No.1 has obtained votes by corrupt practice , therefore , his election as Member of Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly from 145 Basoda Constituency is illegal and void. It is prayed that election of respondent No.1 be declared to be void and petitioner be declared as duly elected Member of Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly from 145 Basoda Constituency.
During pendency of this election petition , sole petitioner submitted Ι.Α. No.3732/ 2024 , an application for withdrawal of election petition along with the affidavit of petitioner Harisingh Raghuvanshi . It is stated in the petition that in recently conducted election of Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly, petitioner has been elected as Member of Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly . He does not wish to prosecute the petition and wish to withdraw the same . Therefore , the proceedings may be concluded and petitioner may be permitted to withdraw the election petition. 1
The notice of withdrawal of election petition was published in the official gazette dated 21.06.2024 under Section 109 (2) of the 556(3)
मध्यप्रदेश राजपत्र, दिनांक 26 सितम्बर 2024
Representation of the People Act , 1951. In compliance with the order dated 30.05.2024 , copy of I.A. No.3732/2024 was supplied to all the respondents . Learned counsel appearing for respondent No.1 has no objection to withdrawal of the petition . None of the other respondents has submitted any objection till date . The petitioner has applied for withdrawal of this election petition for the reason that he has been elected as Member of Madhya Pradesh State Legislative Assembly in next election . There is nothing to suggest that application is induced by any bargain or illegal consideration or the withdrawal is done under any coercion or undue influence . The withdrawal appears to be genuine and voluntary. No public interest would be affected for the reason of withdrawal of petition .
Considering the aforementioned fact situation , I.A. No.3732/ 2024 is allowed and the election petition is dismissed as withdrawn . The cost of respondents shall be incurred by the petitioner. The notice of withdrawal shall be published in the official gazette . If no person applies to be substituted within 14 days of such publication as provided under Section 110 (3 ) ( C) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 , the Registry shall report withdrawal of petition to the Election Commission under Section 111 of the Act, 1951 .
