IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA LETTER PATENT APPEAL NO. 8 OF 2008 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 306 OF 2008 SHRI. GREGORY BRUNO FERNANDES ... Appellant Versus SHRI. ANTHONY JOHN MENINO RODRIGUES AND ANR., ... Respondents Mr. V. P. Thali, Advocate for the appellant. Coram:- S. C. DHARMADHIKARI & SANTOSH BORA, JJ. Date:- 11th August, 2008 P.C. This is an appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent directed against an interim order in a writ petition which is admitted and pending. 2. The jurisdiction of this Court was invoked by a returned candidate whose election was set aside by the Election Tribunal. Finding merit in his contentions and he having made out a prima facie case, this Court, while admitting the petition, stayed the order impugned pending disposal. This is an interim order, which does not decide the issue finally. We see no reason to interfere with the same in our jurisdiction under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent. The order has been passed after a prima facie case was made out and even balance of convenience was in favour of the original petitioner. The LPA is, therefore, devoid of any merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. S. C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. SANTOSH BORA, J. ssm.
