A division bench comprising chief justice S Manikumar and justice Shaji P Chaly dismissed the petition.

The court was also told that the election commission went ahead with the preparations after holding a discussion with the director of the health department and after convening an all-party meeting to discuss the conduct of the election in view of COVID-19.
"The elections should be postponed as the number of Covid-19 cases are rapidly rising in the state. At the present rate of the spreading of the disease, the numbers would peak by November and December," MLA had demanded. (ANI)
