This Court has kept open all questions to be considered if such remedy is availed. Further, this Court's direction to the third respondent to announce results is because the results of the elections were filed in a sealed cover into this Court in compliance with the interim directions issued. In view of the afore, this writ petition also stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to avail their remedy under the Statute. Sd/- (B M SHYAM PRASAD) JUDGE AN/-
