IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15829 of 2006 SURYAKANTI DEVI Versus STATE ELECTION COMMISSIONER &ORS ----------- 4. 30.1.2009 Surendra/ Heard counsel for the petitioner. The amendment in the nature of explanation or even an additional ground in an Election petition cannot be refused in as much as the same would not change the nature of the suit and/or would take away any admission made earlier by the petitioner. That being so, this Court would hold that this writ application was kept pending for a period of over two years only by way of a device to delay the disposal of the election petition. In that view of the matter, this Court while dismissing this writ application would direct the court below to ensure that the election dispute pending before it, being Election Case No. 5/2006, must be disposed of by the court below within a period of six months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order.
