Q: Answer-Under Section 10B, who decides an election dispute, and what is the status of that decision?

On receipt of an application under Section 10A, the Central Government, by notification, establishes a Tribunal consisting of a Presiding Officer and two other Members to decide the dispute, and the decision of such Tribunal is final. The section also prescribes qualifications for the Presiding Officer a senior member of the Indian Legal Service and the Members, and provides that the Council bears the Tribunals expenses. The deciding body is therefore the Tribunal, and its decision is final, making it correct.
