As the polling is already over, we are of the opinion that if the order of this Court dated 20.4.2009 is not complied with by any of the respondents, it is open for the petitioner to take appropriate steps in so far as such non-compliance is concerned. As the polling process is over, nothing survives in the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. V.ESWARAIAH, J. SANJAY KUMAR, J. 27.4.2009 kpr
