But this is a matter which the petitioner should take up only before the Election Tribunal. One more grievance of the petitioner is that after allowing a few voters to affix their left thumb impression on the ground that the seal was not available, the Returning Officer rejected the votes as invalid. This is also an objection to be taken only before the Election Tribunal. Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to file an Election O.P. No costs.
