IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.9863 of 2016
====================================================== Kunti Devi, wife of Lal Bahadur Kewat, resident of village Sandha, P.O. Nauma, P.S. Halsi, District Lakhisarai.
2 27-06-2016 Perused the office note. Defects are ignored and the matter is taken up for consideration. Heard learned counsel for the parties.
After some arguments Mr. S.B.K. Mangalam, learned counsel for the petitioner prays for disposal of the writ petition to pursue the election dispute running before the court below. Although a prayer has been made seeking direction to the
Election Tribunal for an expeditious disposal of the matter but considering the stage at which the election petition rests, I do not think that it is proper to issue any such directions for the wisdom lies within the Tribunal.
The writ petition is disposed of.
