They have approached this court for a direction to accept their nomination papers for the election. By an interim order this court directed the first respondent to accept the nomination papers of the petitioners. The reason for rejection of the nomination papers appears to be that they are members of another primary society. Counsel for the petitioners submits that the first petitioner lost in the election, while the second petitioner has succeeded. Without prejudice to the right of any person to challenge the election of the second petitioner, the writ petition is closed. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb
