Mayanglambam Rameshwar Singh & 4 Ors
Heard Mr. N. Jotendro, learned senior counsel assisted by Mr. Murtaza Ahmed, learned counsel for the applicant, Mr. Devendra Sharma, learned counsel assisted by Mr. N. Zequeson, learned counsel for the respondent No. 1. None appeared for the other respondents.
The present application has been filed seeking leave for allowing the applicant to file replication to the written statement filed by the respondent No. 1 in the connected election petition.
The respondent No. 1 vehemently objected to the present application on the ground that in the said replication, certain new ground has been introduced and certain documents which were not enclosed in the election petition were also enclosed.
On examination of the pleadings made in the replication as elaborately pointed by the respondent No. 1 and on examination of the pleadings made by the applicant in the election petition as well as written statement of the respondent No. 1, this Court is of the considered view that no new pleadings or grounds have been introduced in the replication and the applicant only elaborated the pleadings made in the election petition by way of reply to the statements made in the written statement.
As far as the second objection with regard to filing of certain documents is concerned, this Court is of the considered view that the issues can be decided later on at the time of filing the documents and evidences in support of the claims of the parties.
In view of the above, this Court cannot sustain the objection raised by the respondent No. 1 and accordingly, the present application is allowed.
Registry is directed to put on record the replication filed by the application in the connected election petition.
Misc case stands disposed of.
