M S University Forms 2011- Mistakes galore in voters' list

From-TOI

It seems M S University (MSU) follows some strange rules for scrutiny of forms. The university officials have already drawn flak for rejecting large number of forms of prospective voters for the forthcoming senate elections in the registered graduates' category. Now it has come to light that the voters lists prepared by the officials after scrutiny are full of mistakes.

The elections for the 13 seats of senate in the registered graduates' category are scheduled on December 18. Ahead of the elections, MSU released the faculty-wise list of voters for this category on Saturday. But it seems university officials have messed up the entire lists as there are mistakes in spellings and addresses and there are repetitions.

For example, the voters' list of Faculty of Technology and Engineering (FTE) has names like Sammer instead of Sameer, Sarabh instead of Saurabh while there are several names which have been printed twice.

At Faculty of Science, the list has as many as ten names of voters with same address. "In fact there are around 15 names printed twice while there are 15 names shown as residents of BIDC Gorwa with no address in specific," says senate member Lalit Patel, adding that even names of voters from unheard of universities like 'Bark Atulla Vishw Vidh University', 'Bakatiya University', 'Shaviji University', 'DR R M L University' are there in the voters list while forms of alumni of MSU have been rejected. The countdown to the polls has already witnessed a controversy after a candidate Niraj Jain, who is keen to contest from Faculty of Law moved Gujarat high court for inclusion of his name in the voters list which was rejected by the university officials on the grounds that the photograph in his form was not attested. The HC has issued a directive to university to include Jain's name in the list . The notices are returnable on November 9.
