Order: On behalf of petitioners, reference has been made to role of micro observers...ECI has clarified that micro observers and/or state govt officials shall only be assisting prescribed statutory authority in taking final decision

Mr. Naidu has pointed to counter of ECI...it is alleged that despite making complaints by ECI, no FIR was being registered against persons suspected to be involved in burning records of objections or other alleged unlawful activities. Though this is being strongly refuted by state, we are reminded of our 19 January order, in which a categorical direction was issued to police authorities to ensure maintenance of law and order. DGP to file personal affidavit in response to allegations by ECI.
