O R D E R (Passed on 21/10/2011) Per : Justice Krishn Kumar Lahoti This petition is directed against an order Annexure P/19 dated 17.5.2010 passed by the Collector-cum-appellate authority by which the appellate authority deferred his decision on the preliminary objection raised by the petitioner in respect of pending appeal. 2. The main question in the matter is in respect of correction of the voter-list by correcting the entry in respect of name of the petitioner. In the said appeal, petitioner herein raised certain preliminary objections. Though the Collector-cum-appellate authority heard the argument on preliminary objection but directed that the appeal be listed for final argument and the decision on preliminary objection would be delivered alongwith final order. 3. As controversy raised in this petition has been considered by this Court in Writ Appeal No.1182 of 2010- Smt.Nirmala Pathak Vs. State of M.P. & others, and we have directed the Election Tribunal to decide all the issues, so aforesaid order shall be applicable in this writ petition as far as it is applicable. The decision of the Election Tribunal shall be binding on the parties. 4. With the aforesaid directions, this writ petition is finally disposed of with no order as to costs.
