Mangaluru, Apr 4: Dakshina Kannada principal district and sessions judge K S Bilagi hopes to vote in the upcoming Karnataka Assembly polls, for the very first time in his 32 years of service.

Addressing a blood donation camp and voter awareness programme at Mangaluru, the judge expressed his disappointment on missing the opportunity to vote every time because of transfers.

"In my 32 years of service, I have been repeatedly transferred during the election season. When I was serving in Kalaburagi, I was unable to vote as my name was not registered on the voter’s list.

"In Bengaluru, I was transferred during the elections. The upcoming polls will be the last election during my service. This time, I have submitted an application and hope that my name gets included in the voter’s list," he said.

    The judge could have avoided the statement of not voting till now instead a talk on importance of voting would have helped.

    Dont the transfers effect most of the emplyees across the State. Does this justify for not having to vote. If such responsible personalities can justify like this what abput the thousands of factory/ industrial employees who are hundreds of kilometers away and still make it a point to vote.
