Admittedly Ramgir Goswami had filed his nomination paper on 1-5-1980 which the Returning Officer, after scrutiny, had accepted. Ramgir Goswami later withdrew his candidature. The allegations in the petition are that Ramgir Goswami began supporting the returned candidate and had committed certain corrupt practices.
