We have heard learned counsel for the plaintiff-State of Assam and the learned counsel for the defendants, namely, Union of India the State of Nagaland and the Election Commission. Taking into consideration all the aspects of the case and the balance of convenience we feel that the appropriate order that should be passed in this case is that we should allow the Election Commission to conduct the election scheduled to be held on 21st January, 1989 in the areas in dispute in any of the manners indicated by it in para 4 of its counter affidavit, namely, either by setting up polling stations in the disputed areas at the same sites and locations at which they were set up at the time of the last general election to the Nagaland Legislative Assembly held in November, 1987 or in any other manner it considers appropriate. The election shall be held under the supervision of the Election Commission of India with the assistance of the police force selected by it. This order is subject to the decree to be passed in the suit.
