On the other hand, he made a very significant assertion in his written statement in the present election petition which is quoted below: "The Deputy Commissioner issued direction for the inclusion of the names of nominated members on 3.6.1988 and the elec toral roll for local Authorities Constituency has been up dated and a copy pasted in the office on 3.6.1988 at 8.55 P.M." In the earlier writ petition also he had made a similar statement, as mentioned below, towards the end of paragraph 2 of his reply: "The Deputy Commissioner issued direction for the inclusion of the name of Respondents 3 to 246 on 3 6 1988 and the electoral roll for Local Authorities Constituency has been up dated and a copy pasted in the office on 3 6 1988 at 8 55 P.M." A plain reading of the above statement suggests that both the updating of the electoral roll and pasting a copy there of took place on 3.6.
