WPMS No. 1464 of 2009 With Int. Relief App. 7570 / 09 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Mr. Ajay Veer Pundir, Advocate present for the petitioner. Mr. Mohd. Safdar, Advocate present for respondent No. 1. Mr. Parikshit Saini, Advocate present for respondent No. 9. Heard learned counsel for the parties. By means of this petition, moved under Article 226 read with Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the District Judge, Haridwar, to decide the election petition No. 04 of 2008, expeditiously. The prayer made in the petition is innocuous. It is submitted that the election petition is pending for the last more than a year and the term for which the respondent No. 1 is elected is a fixed term. Having considered submissions of learned counsel for the parties and after going through the papers on record, this writ petition is disposed of summarily with the direction to the District Judge, Haridwar, to decide the election petition as expeditiously as possible. (Interim Relief Application No. 7570 of 2009 also stands disposed of). (P.C. P., J.) 02.09.2009 HN
