P (C) No. 31656 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 22nd December, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner filed this writ petition challenging the validity of the final voters list published in respect of the election to the managing committee of the 2nd respondent-society. The election is already over. Therefore, the petitioner's remedy lies in filing an appropriate election petition, taking all the contentions raised in the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge the election on all grounds available to the petitioner including the grounds raised in this writ petition. However, I direct the 1st respondent to keep the disputed votes separately until the Election Tribunal can properly consider the contentions, if the election petition is filed within time. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
