Joshi, learned AGP for respondent nos.1 and 2 and Shri A.P. Tathod, learned counsel for the caveator. The appellant is a candidate contesting an election. Respondent no.2–Returning Officer has given common symbols to all the candidates representing a particular panel. Shri Parchure, learned counsel for the appellant contends that thus voters are not in a position to choose best candidate available inter se in such panel as most of the voters 2 are illiterate. Learned counsel for the appellant and learned AGP for respondent nos.1 and 2 point out that the appellant before this court is not a voter but is contesting the election. They also point out that polling is already over. Learned Single Judge has looked into the controversy and has found that panel elections were not prohibited by the relevant bye-laws. The question being raised by Shri Anand Parchure, learned counsel for the appellant, demands answer to certain factual aspects. As polling is already over, with liberty to appellant to raise appropriate challenge to election before the competent forum, if occasion arises, in accordance with the law, Letters Patent Appeal stands disposed of accordingly. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
