An election petition was filed by losing candidate in the high court. Winning candidate filed a misc application regarding maintainability of the election petition. The misc application was dismissed by the high court. Winning candidate filed appeal in Supreme Court but no stay order was issued by Supreme Court since losing candidate filed a caveat. Can high court continue with proceeding on the election petition given the sensitivity of the matter and no stay order being passed on it by Supreme Court? Is there any precedent?
