Nomination papers of both the parties have been accepted as admitted by Mr. Jamali who admits that no appeal was filed by petitioners against the acceptance of nomination paper of respondents Nos.1 and 2 hence they have filed this constitutional petition.

2. ' Mr. Jamali is not able to assign any cogent reason, which could prevent them from filing appeals before the appellate authority.

3. ' An aggrieved person ought to avail, in the first place the statutory remedy of appeal in which the petitioner has failed and has opted to invoke constitutional jurisdiction without disclosing any compelling and extraordinary reasons for his failure to avail such remedy. Such conduct on their part is tantamount to show distrust in the statutory authorities/bodies meant for the purpose. Be that as it may, with this constitutional petition no order of the Returning Officer has been filed hence even otherwise in absence thereof the reasons of acceptance of nomination paper of respondents could not be ascertained and appreciated or otherwise. This Constitutional petition is therefore not maintainable and is dismissed in limine along with listed applications. revisions by the competent authorities.
