CWP No. 158 of 2006. 3.3.2006 Present: Mr. Kuldip Singh, Senior Advocate with Mr. Karan Singh Kanwar, Advocate, for the petitioner. After hearing learned Counsel for the petitioner, we are of the view that since the petitioner has already availed of alternative and efficacious remedy by filing Election Petition, therefore, the present writ petition is not competent. Accordingly, the same is dismissed as such. However, we make it clear that the dismissal of this petition will not affect the merits of the Election Petition, which would be decided on the basis of the pleadings of the parties and evidence on record. CMP No. 208 of 2006. In view of the dismissal of the writ petition, this application has been rendered infructuous and is disposed of as such. (V.K. Jhanji), Judge. March 3, 2006.
