J U D G M E N T The dispute between the petitioners on the one hand and the fourth respondent society is on the question as to whether the petitioners, claiming to have been admitted to membership before the statutory date, are entitled to be included in the voters' list. Election is scheduled to be held on 24-1-2008. The Returning Officer is duty bound to consider the objections to the voters' list. If the petitioners have not placed any objection as on now, they will not have any right to raise such issue in relation to the election. (2). In such circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to work out their statutory remedies before appropriate authorities. Any such application filed before the first respondent will be taken up and considered in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of as above. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. MS
