The learned counsel has submitted that normally election proceedings take long time to be decided by the Authorities and therefore direction be given to decide the same within a stipulated period. It is brought to the notice of this Court that the said Section itself stipulates that the Authority concerned should decide the election petition as expeditiously as possible. Hence, we observe that the Election Petition be finally concluded within a period of six months as far as possible, from the date of filing of Election Petition. With these observations, writ petition is disposed of. (D. D. SINHA, J.) (MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.)
