During course of hearing, the learned counsel for the 1st respondent submitted that the election OP is at the fag end of the conclusion and therefore, a direction may be issued to the Tribunal to dispose of the election OP as expeditiously as possible. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner raised no objection, however, he sought for a direction not to resort recounting of votes.

No order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed in consequence.
