BIBHUTI PRASAD SINGH S/O LATE RAM BALAK SINGH R/O VILL- BHAGWANPUR, DESUAN, P.O. DESUAN, P.S. UJIYARPUR, DISTT. SAMASTIPUR ----------- For the Petitioner:- Mr. Raghvendra Kr. Adv. For the State:- Mr. Amarendra Kumar, Adv. For the Authority :- Mr. M.K. Thakur, Adv. For the Respondent no. 6 :- Mr. Pushkar Narain Shali, Adv. -------------- 2. 05.04.2011 Shree Bipin Kumar Singh, Advocate Chamber Junior of Sri Raghwandra Kumar, Advocate prays for adjournment on the ground that the latter is unwell. In normal circumstances, the Court would have quite simply adjourned the matter on that prayer. But the Court finds from the pleadings in the writ application read with the counter affidavit that the petitioner had originally filed the writ application seeking cancellation of the nomination of respondent no. 6 and the consequent winning declaration certificate issued in his favour. The counter affidavit raises an objection 2 that the appropriate remedy for the petitioner was to pursue matters in an election petition. Once the elections are over and results declared as per the writ petition itself, the remedies with regard to any grievance whether it be the acceptance of the nomination or the winning declaration certificate after pronouncement of the election results lies in an election petition only. Adjournment of the matter on the ground of the illness of the counsel would serve no purpose. The petitioner may pursue remedies in an election petition, if so advised. The writ application stand dismissed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
