The petitioner had filed an election petition before the learned Munsif, Barh, being the Election Tribunal in the year 2006, challenging the election of respondent no.6. The only grievance of the petitioner is that about three and half years elapsed but the Tribunal is not taking adequate steps to dispose of the case at an early date. In view of the aforesaid fact that the case was filed in July 2006, the term of the elected member is for a period of 5 years, the learned Munsif would give preference on priority basis and dispose of the same preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy before him and would take all necessary steps in this regard. With this observation and direction, the writ petition is disposed of. Trivedi (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
