Judgment & Decree
S. A. RAHMAN, J.‑The question raised in this petition for special leave to appeal from an order passed by the High Court in Writ Jurisdiction concerns the correct interpretation to be placed on Rule 34 of the Electoral College Rules, 1964. The High Court has apparently expressed contradictory views on this question, in two writ petitions. The contention raised that the High Court was in error in holding that the rule applied to the present case, merits consideration. We grant leave to appeal as prayed. The petitioner will furnish security in the sum of Rs. 1,000 for costs before the appeal is set down for hearing. Proceedings , before the Controlling Authority in consequence of the order of the High Court will continue to remain under stay meanwhile. Leave granted.
