In regard to this contention by counsel for the respondent, I perused the respondent\rquote s affidavit in reply and found no evidence therein to challenge the applicant\rquote s knowledge of the law. May be the respond ent and his lawyer very well knew that the applicant is a lawyer, himself and if there was any doubt about the applicant\rquote s knowledge of the law, counsel for the respondent would have the applicant cross-examined on these points. Short of that, such contention raised by counsel for the respondent ought to be answered in the negative.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11555065\charrsid12987031 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid7417326\charrsid12987031 \par Furthermore, on the issue of none attachment of the amended petition on the applicant\rquote s affidavit in support of the application, hence re}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12987031 ndering that affidavit }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid9784360 incurably}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid7417326\charrsid12987031 defective. The application and the affidavit of applicant in support of the petition all refer in absolute words that the respondent\rquote s amended petition filed in court on 8/4/2011 is defective. The applicant\rquote s affidavit goes ahead to state evidence why the applicant thinks that, that amended petition should be disallowed. In the affidavit in reply to this application, the respondent in his statements very well understands what amended petition the applicant is referring to. Therefore, it is my finding that since this application arises out of the main petition no. 0001 of 2011 where the amended }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid13832065\charrsid12987031 petition }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid7417326\charrsid12987031 was filed and }{ \rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid13832065\charrsid12987031 placed it was not mandatory for the applicant to have attached the same on his affidavit in support of this application.

That }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid2958396\charrsid12987031 therefore, this application is a waste of time. I have looked at both answers to the amended petition filed by t he applicant and the Electoral Commission and noted that the aforesaid parties in their ground do object to the amended petition. I further note from their answers to the petition that the said respective parties filed their answers to the petition with out prejudice. Hence, it is not true that the applicant conceded to the amended petition. Thus, the applicant was entitled to file this application.

such as to fall squarely in the decision of Sitenda Sebalu case as submitted by counsel for the respondent.

The rationale for the discretion give to court in this regard under Rule 17 (Supra) is due to the great public interest and importance attached to the conduct and determination of election petitions. The PEA and its Rule s provide very strict time limits for the conduct of the election petitions. For instance under S.60 (3) of the PEA a petitioner is given 30 (thirty) days from the date of the results were gazetted to fil}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid9594909\charrsid12987031 e a petition. Under Rule 6 of the Rules governing election petitions the petitioner has only 7 (seven) days within which to serve the Notice of presentation of a petition }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid3425735\charrsid12987031 and }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid9594909\charrsid12987031 the petition on the respondent}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid3425735\charrsid12987031 .

The court itself is required to handle the election petitio}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid3425735\charrsid12987031 n expeditiously on } {\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid9594909\charrsid12987031 day to day and to set aside all other matters (see section 63 (2) of the PEA). }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid3425735 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid9784360\charrsid12987031 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid9594909\charrsid12987031 The court is also required to conclude the election petitions within the period of 30 (thirty) days after commencement of the hearing (see Rule 13 (1) and (2) of the said Rules). All the aforesaid }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15473984\charrsid12987031 instances clearly show that time is of essence}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6626324\charrsid12987031 . O}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15473984\charrsid12987031 n the contrary, order 6 rule 20 of the civil procedure Rules }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid415912\charrsid12987031 create}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15473984\charrsid12987031 completely different time frames which contradict the law governing the trial and hearing of election petitions}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid8477991\charrsid12987031 . O}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15473984\charrsid12987031 rder 6 rule 20 thereof allows the plaintiff to amend his pla int at any time within 21 days or where the written statement of defence is filed, then within 14 days from the time of filing the defence. Then order 6 rule 24 of the defendant has a right to reply to the amended plaint within 14 days. Therefore, the modifications of applying the Civil Procedure in election petitions talked of in Rule 17 of the Rules governing election petitions can not allow o}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid8477991\charrsid12987031 rder 6 rule 20 of CPR to override the election petition}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid15473984\charrsid12987031 laws and their rules made there under.
