ORDER

(22.01.2015) NAVIN SINHA, ACTING C.J.

1.

The present appeal arises from order dated 10.12.2014 dismissing Writ Petition (C) No.2400 of 2014. The Learned Single v'

Judge opining that the writ petition seeking to restrain Respondent No. 4 from contesting the Gram Panchayat Election was a frivolous and vexatious litigation dismissed it with costs of Rs.5,000/- to be deposited with the High Court Legal Aid Committee.

2.

We have heard counsel for the parties and find no reason to interfere with the reasoning including imposition of costs. Howevef^we l*

reduce the cost to Rs.4;500/- only.

3.

The appeal is dismissed with that modification ofthe order under appeal.
