The order under challenge is an inter-locutory order. 2. Mr.Kudle’s apprehension is that by directing the election machinery to produce the election records, it should not be concluded that the case of the petitioners stands proved. In my view, this is an election :2: petition. The petitioner before the Trial court is disputing the election. The burden is upon him to show that the election is vitiated. Merely because the documents are directed to be produced, it does not mean that these allegations in the election petition are held to be proved. That will have to be done in accordance with law. The petitioners apprehension is therefore not well founded. In any event, the Trial Court to deal with the election dispute on its own merits and in accordance with law and not being influenced only by the direction to produce the record. Petition is dismissed. No costs. sd/- (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI,J)
