NAGENDRA RAM S/O SHRI SATAN RAM R/O VILL.- BARGAGAWA, P.S.- RAMNAGAR, DISTT.- WEST CHAMPARAN ----------- 2/ 12/05/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The relief sought is to set aside the election of the P.A.C.C.S. with regard to the Chairman. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that earlier an election appeal had been filed before the competent authority on 18.1.2010 which subsequently became non-functional because of which the writ petition had to be preferred. Now that the authority is functional the petitioner may be permitted to pursue the election petition. If an election petition has been filed on 18.1.2011, as was submitted, let the same be considered and disposed off in accordance with law 2 after hearing all concerned, within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt/presentation of a copy of this order. The application is disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
