IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7939 of 2006 POONAM DEVI Versus THE BIHAR STATE ELECTION COMMISSION ----------- 4. 30.1.2009 In this writ application the petitioner has challenged the result of election on the post of Mukhiya. On her own showing when the certificate had already been issued in favour of the private respondent declaring her to be elected, the only remedy for her was/ is to file an election petition. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. Such dismissal, however, will not mean that this Court has decided the question on merit and therefore, if the petitioner has already filed an election petition or would file such election petition, the same shall be considered and disposed of in accordance with law.
