Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 33487 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 21st November, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner was declared elected by the Munsiff's Court, Vadakkancherry, in an election petition filed by her challenging the election of the returned candidate in Ward No.2 of the 1st respondent- Panchayat. Ext. P1 is the judgment in that election petition. Although appeal, revision, review etc., have been filed, Ext. P1 judgment has been confirmed. Petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the 2nd respondent is refusing to administer oath to the petitioner as the elected member of the Ward. According to the petitioner, the last date as per the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act for taking oath would expire by 29-11-2008 and if that date is over, the petitioner would be put to difficulty because of the provisions of the Act. 2. Learned counsel for the 2nd respondent submits that the 2nd respondent undertakes to administer oath to the petitioner positively on 27-11-2008. In view of the above undertaking the same is recorded and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to see that as undertaken by him, oath is administered to the petitioner on 27-11-2008.
