Mr. S.T. Shelke, Advocate for the respondent no.2 ... CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J. DATED : 20TH JULY, 2010 ORAL ORDER:- 1. Heard. The contention of the counsel for the petitioners is that the petitioner no.4 was the only candidate in the fray and ought to have been declared as elected one. It appears that the nomination of the petitioner no.4 also was withdrawn as per the application in the form of annexure 5. Contention of the petitioners' counsel is that the petitioners took advice from the Returning Officer and filled up the form though there was no intention (2) WP. 6459.2010 to withdraw the nomination form. This contention cannot be considered at this juncture when for one or another reason the nomination of the petitioner no.4 was withdrawn and as such she could not be regarded as a valid candidate. Petition disposed of. Petitioners, however, may file Election Petition after the elections are over and all questions are kept open, including the question regarding ill- advice given by the Returning Officer. Sd/- [V.R. KINGAONKAR, J.] arp
