State of Haryana and others ... Respondents

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMIT RAWAL Present:- Mr. Abhishek Goyal, Advocate, for the petitioner. AMIT RAWAL J. (Oral) The petitioner questions the eligibility of respondent no.5 to contest the election of the Municipal Council, Sohna, District Gurgaon. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that even the written statement to the election petition has not been filed. Since there is statutory remedy of election petition available to the petitioner for which the Civil Court is notified as Election Tribunal, I decline to entertain this writ petition and relegate the petitioner to the above stated alternative remedy.

However, taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances, it is directed that if any election petition is filed, the Election Tribunal shall make an endeavour to decide the same within a period of one year from the date of its filing. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. (AMIT RAWAL) JUDGE February 02, 2017 savita Whether Speaking/Reasoned Yes/No Whether Reportable Yes/No Savita 2017.02.
