Case summary

The court held that the Parliamentary Elections ( Election Petition ) rules are the rules applicable to the election petition appeals since they were put in place to expedite the appeal process and hence the filing was out of time. That though they were filed out of time, the interest of justice called for admission of the respondent to be given more time to file appropriately.
