IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6811 of 2011 ABDUL KARIM . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 02. 29.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and for the State Election Commission. Whether the resignation of the petitioner had been accepted prior to filing of the nomination and whether the acceptance was by the appropriate authority, who was the appropriate authority to accept the same are all questions of fact which can perhaps more appropriately be examined in an election petition, if the petitioner is so advised. In view of the fact that elections have already been announced in a phase wise manner, even if the nomination was wrongly rejected, no relief can flow to the petitioner in a writ petition under Article 226 with regard to any wrongful rejection of the petition. The application stands disposed in the aforesaid terms. P.K ( Navin Sinha, J.)
