N.P. Ponnuswami vs Returning Officer, Namakkal ... on 21 January, 1952

Learned counsel for the writ petitioner before the High Court had relied upon a judgment of this Court in S.T. Muthusami v. K. Natarajan & Ors. (1988 1 SCC 572) wherein this Court had held following the judgment in Ponnuswami's case (supra) that entertaining of a writ petition by the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution cannot be supported and consequently it set aside the judgment of the Division Bench of the High Court and dismissed the writ petition filed in the High Court. In that case the question involved was a dispute between two candidates claiming the official symbol of a political party. This judgment came to be distinguished by the High Court on the basis of facts though the law laid down there was squarely applicable against the maintainability of the writ petition.
