THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 5452 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 19th February, 2009. J U D G M E N T Petitioner is the respondent in O.P.No. 17/2007 before the Kerala State Election Commission, Thiruvananthapuram filed by respondents 1 and 2 seeking to disqualify the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner has not attended meetings of the standing committee consecutively for three meetings. The petitioner raised a preliminary point by filing I.A.No. 33/2007 on the ground that the petitioner did not have notice of the meetings, which were alleged to have been conducted in which the petitioner allegedly did not participate. The petitioner would further submit that the notices issued were not due notices also. The Commission, by Ext. P10 order, directed that such contention also would be considered during the trial of the O.P. I.A was dismissed. That order is under challenge before me. 2. I am of opinion that by the very nature of the proceedings before the Election Commission, the same has to be disposed of as expeditiously as possible. That being so, piece-meal adjudication by the Election Commission has to be discouraged as far as possible, especially when even for considering the preliminary point, evidence is necessary. That only has been done by the Commission in this case. Therefore, I do not find any infirmity in Ext. P10 order and accordingly the writ petition is dismissed. S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
