● <B> What was the ruling ? </B> Judges Paul Lam Shang Leen and Bushan Domah ruled that the election of Ashock Jugnauth was null and invalid.

● <B> Does that mean that there will be a by-election in that constituency? </B> No ? at least not for the moment. Ashock Jugnauth has already stated his intention of going to the Privy Council to appeal against the ruling. Therefore, the ruling of the two judges will be frozen until that of the Privy Council is made public. It is only if the Privy Council follows the judges? ruling that there will be a by-election.

● <B> Will Ashock Jugnauth be authorised to be a candidate in case of a by-election? </B> As it is a civil case ? and not a criminal one ? Ashock Jugnauth should have the right to be candidate unless the police decide to lodge a criminal case against him after the Privy Council?s ruling.
