KURIAN,J. - (1.) Leave granted.

The Election Petition is to be disposed of within a period of six months as per the statutory mandate.
(3.) Since the Election Petition has been pending for more than 6 months, we direct the Tribunal to dispose of the Election Petition pending before it within a period of four months from the date of receipt of this order. The appeal is disposed of in the afore-stated terms.;
