In Brief
The Supreme Court disposed of a civil appeal concerning a pending election petition that had stalled for three years. The respondent-election petitioner expressed willingness to submit himself for examination and cross-examination. The Court directed the Election Tribunal to dispose of the petition expeditiously, preferably within three months from the next hearing date, while declining to adjudicate the substantive legal merits. The decision prioritizes procedural efficiency and prompt resolution of the outstanding election dispute.
