I also record the submission of the learned Government Pleader that the Returning Officer has considered the objections of the petitioners and rejected the same, order in which would be issued to the petitioners today and that if the petitioners file an appeal, the same would also be considered by the District Collector within five days. The respondents shall place their counter affidavits on record by 4.12.2008.

That being so, no further orders are necessary in this writ petition except to record the said submission. Ordered accordingly. The District Collector shall take appropriate steps to see that the re-election is conducted in a peaceful and orderly manner. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
