All stages in the election process are over, barring the stage of actual voting, which is scheduled on 7th October 2007. It is thus clear that no useful purpose will be served by entertaining this petition at this stage. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance on a judgment rendered by this court on 19-1-2007 in W.P.No. 524/07 wherein directions were issued to allot him symbol and permitted the petitioner to contest the election after holding that the rejection of the nomination is not referable to any provision of the Act or Rules.

Leaving all questions open to be raised in an election petition, this petition is summarily dismissed. ...
