MUHAMMAD ZAFARULLAH, J.‑‑The election petition was dismissed by the Tribunal on an oral objection of respondent No. 2 that the petitioner had not provided to him a copy of the election petition.

The petitioner has furnished an affidavit sworn by Mr. Muhammad Abdul Rehman Janjua, Advocate to the effect that the question of supply of copy was not an admitted fact and had yet to be tried.

The petition is, therefore, allowed and the matter remitted to the Election Tribunal Sialkot for fresh decision on this question. There shall be no order as to costs. H . B . T . Petition allowed.
