The relief sought is for setting aside the Election held on 16.10.2009 and the results declared on 18.10.2009 in the Ram Nagar Block, district- West Champaran on allegations of wrong acceptance of nomination etc. On the pleadings it is apparent that the proper remedy lies in an election petition only. The submission that when the writ petition was filed no forum was available and that its subsequent availability cannot bar the application on grounds of limitation are matters to be more appropriately considered by the Tribunal itself. The writ application stands disposed in the aforesaid terms. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
