IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2817 of 2008 BRAJ NANDAN PRASAD Versus THE BIHAR STATE ELECTION COMM& ----------- 3. 1.4.2009 In this case the only grievance of the petitioner, who is the election petitioner before the Tribunal , is that the disposal of the election petition is being delayed on account of dilatory tactics of respondent No.4. From the report of the learned Tribunal it also appears that always time is being taken by respondent No.4 by filing an application that he has to go in revision against most of the orders passed in the matter. More than 2 1/2 years have elapsed since the filing of the election petition on 7.7.2006. Normally, an election petition is expected to be disposed of within a period of six months from the date of its filing. In the above circumstances, the writ application is disposed of with a direction to the learned Tribunal to dispose of Election Petition No. 36 of 2006 within a period of four months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order and no unreasonable adjournments shall be granted to the respondent for delaying the matter.
