To comply with the legal requirements of sub-rule (3) & (4) of rule 26 of RER 1960 as also for administrative reasons only the applications received at least minimum ten days from the last date for filing nominations can be disposed of. This is because the date of posting of the application in the Notice Board by the ERO for inviting objections under sub-rule (3) should be excluded while computing the mandatory period of seven days within which objections can be filed by someone. One more day is required to dispose of the application under sub-rule (4) thereof. One more day would be required to make necessary entries in the Registers prescribed for the purpose and preparation of manuscript for data entry.

In view of the above position, all applications received upto 20/3/09 should be disposed of by constituencies of 1st phase, upto 25/3/09 for the 2nd phase, upto 30/3/09 for the 3rd phase, upto 8/4/09 for the 4th phase and upto 14/4/09 for the 5th phase. In case any of these dates are holidays then the applications received upto the previous working day shall be disposed off.
