ABDUL QADEER CHAUDHRY, J: --Leave to appeal is sought against the judgment of the High Court dated 3-9-1990.
2. The facts, in brief, are that the petitioner contested Local Bodies Election on 30-11-1990 and was elected. An election petition was filed challenging the election of the petitioner by respondent which was accepted by the Election Tribunal, The Constitution Petition filed by the present petitioner was dismissed.
3. The reasons which weighed with the High Court in dismissing the petitioner's petition were that he was not qualified to contest the election under section 21(G) of the Baluchistan Local Government Ordinance, 1980 (hereinafter referred to as the Ordinance) because the services of the petitioner from WAPDA were terminated on 8-8-1987. The case of the petitioner is that he submitted his resignation which was accepted by the competent authority as such the bar contained in section 21(G) of the Ordinance does not apply to the case of the petitioner. The learned counsel has stated that new elections to the Local Bodies are due within short time. In such circumstances even if leave is granted, it would not be possible that the appeal be heard in short time. Even otherwise, the period of two years had already expired, therefore, that bar is not of permanent nature. As such, the question involved is kept open. The petitioner, therefore, does not press this petition. The petition is dismissed as such.
