J U D G M E N T
Leave granted.
The appellant approached the High Court praying for
expeditious disposal of the Election Petition No. 13 of
2015 pending before the District Magistrate,
Dist.-Hasanpur, Amroha. The High Court declined the prayer,
holding that it did not have jurisdiction to deal with the
subject matter. The Election Petition is to be disposed of
within a period of six months as per the statutory mandate.
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. JUDGMENT
The appeal is disposed of in the afore-stated terms.
