| The Issues:
Five issues were framed by the Court in consultation with the Counsel for the parties. These were as follows:
1. Whether during the 2001 election of the President, there was noncompliance with provisions of the Presidential Elections Act, 2000.
2. Whether the said election was not conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the provisions of the said Act.
3. Whether, if the first and second issues are answered in the affirmative, such non-compliance with the provisions and principles of the said Act, affected the result of the election in a substantial manner.
4. Whether an illegal practice or any other offence under the said Act was committed, in connection with the said election, by the 1st Respondent personally or with his knowledge and consent or approval.
5. What reliefs are available to the parties?
I answered the first two issues in the affirmative and answered the third and fourth issue in the negative. Consequently I dismissed the Petition and ordered each party to bear its own costs.
