P.C. . We have heard the learned counsel for the parties and gone through their respective pleadings. We find that the subject matter of the petition relating to irregularity in the conduct of the election by the respondent society involves disputed questions of facts and, therefore, we do not think it proper to interfere in the matter in exercise of our writ jurisdiction as the petitioner has alternative remedy of challenging the election by filing an election 2 petition. We, therefore, dismiss this petition with liberty to the petitioner to challenge the election of the respondent society by filing an election petition. All issues and contentions raised in the petition are kept open as we have not dealt with the matter on merits. With these observation, the petition stands dismissed. (J.N. Patel, J.) (J.N.
