This application has been filed by the applicant/first defendant to reject the plaint.

2. It is the contention of the applicant that as per the plaint averments, the main grievance of the plaintiff is that the rejection of their nomination by the Honourable Observer, (Retired Judge of this Court) appointed in W.P.No.12968 of 2018 is bad. It is the contention of the applicant that the nominations were scrutinized by the Honourable Observer and he has found that certain nominations were invalid on the ground that either the proposer district or the seconder district and in some cases both the districts were in arrears to the association as on March 15th, 2018. Therefore, as per Article X and XII (h)(iv) of Articles of Association, their nominations were rejected. It is the further contention of the applicant that as per Article X of the Articles of Association, only a District Association, who has no arrears and have paid their subscription on or before 15th of March of that year will alone be eligible to vote in the election. Similarly, the nominations will be valid only if the proposer and seconder are from two different district associations who are eligible to vote. Therefo
