Why It Matters
This order shows how the Court may deal with a special leave petition in an election dispute that is already before the High Court: it left every contention open there rather than examine them itself (para 3). It also fixed four weeks from the date of the order for the appellate authority to decide the petitioners' separate appeal, with the direction that it be decided in accordance with law (para 4). A reader should note what the order does not do: it expresses no view on the merits, and it does not say how the appeal or the High Court proceedings should be decided.
