Judgment

Question Presented: Vote as a fundamental right

Alleged Acts: The petitioners allege that army personnel prevented them front entering polling stations and violated their fundamental rights.

Conclusion: The Court granted the petitioners' declarations that their fundamental rights were infringed and awarded them nominal compensation.
