Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The petitioner challenges the decision taken on his objection regarding the approval of the nomination of the 4th and 5th respondent. According to him, they do not fulfill the basic qualification as a Sikh entitled to contest the election. The authorities have rejected the contention of the petitioner by stating that after the nomination had been received, publication had been made for calling objections and the petitioner had not given the objection within time and he cannot be heard to state his objection now after the election process has started. The decision taken by the authority cannot be a subject of adjudication under Article 226 of the Constitution before the election is concluded and the results are out. The petitioner's remedy will be by means of an C.W.P. No.16843 of 2011 -2- election petition at an appropriate time after the election results are over and not through the petition in the manner sought for. 2. The writ petition is dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE September 09, 2011 Pankaj*
