'We are not lawmakers': Delhi HC on PIL for compulsory voting in elections

The court warned the petitioner, advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, it would dismiss the petition with costs after which he withdrew it.

The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to entertain a PIL seeking direction to the Centre and the Election Commission to make voting compulsory in parliament and assembly polls, saying it cannot force a person to vote.
"We are not lawmakers. We cannot pass such directions. Is there any provision in the Constitution that makes voting compulsory?&rdquo; a bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad said.
The court warned the petitioner, advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, it would dismiss the petition with costs after which he withdrew it.
Upadhyay had filed the public interest litigation, saying compulsory voting will ensure every citizen has a voice, will improve the quality of democracy and secure the right to vote. The plea said low voter turnout is a persistent problem and compulsory voting can help increase the turnout, particularly among marginalised communities.

The polling for single-phased assembly elections will be held across 59 constituencies in both Nagaland and Meghalaya.

Amid continuing political turmoil in Pakistan, the National Assembly convened once again on April 9 to vote on the no-confidence motion against Imran Khan's government.
The no-trust motion was revived by the Pakistani Supreme Court which also cancelled the dissolution of the Assembly. Imran Khan was absent from the House during the proceedings.
The defence of his government was led by foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi who is also the vice-chairman of Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. Qureshi accused the Opposition of indulging in horse-trading to steal legislators and destabilise the government.
Qureshi claimed that during an earlier episode of horse-trading, the PTI had submitted proof with the Election Commission, but after multiple hearings over the course of a year, the judgment is still reserved.
Many allies have deserted Imran Khan, and joined ranks with the Opposition, putting the government in minority.

Pakistan is struggling with political turmoil, once again.&nbsp;Prime Minister Imran Khan has apparently lost majority in the National Assembly, with his allies deserting him.
Most observers feel he will lose the no-confidence motion, which will be taken up for voting on April 3.&nbsp;In the 342-member House, the magic number is 172.
While Imran Khan needs at least 172 votes to stay in power, his opponents need 172 votes to remove him. In case the Opposition fails to secure 172 votes, Imran Khan would stay PM even if he fails to reach the majority mark too, as per the Lansing Institute. Abstentions etc might result in this.
&nbsp;
Another possibility is that a new government comes to power. A new candidate would need at least 172 votes in the National Assembly to be crowned PM, as per the Lansing Institute. The Opposition has reportedly announced that PML-N's Shehbaz Sharif would be the PM, and PPP's Bilawal Bhutto Zardari would have a key role.
&nbsp;
In case the Opposition's Prime Ministerial candidate fails to secure majority, i.e. 172 votes, then the National Assembly would be dissolved, according to the Lansing Institute. This would lead to early elections. The new PM could also call early polls to legitimise their mandate.
&nbsp;
Imran Khan could also call early elections ahead of the vote. The current Assembly's tenure reportedly ends in August 2023, and the next elections are supposed to be held within 60 days, as per the Lansing Institute.
