When an election petition is withdrawn under certain conditions, like those in section 229(3), the High Court must write a report to the Speaker. You need to know that the report says whether the Court thinks the petition was withdrawn because of a corrupt deal or to get another petition withdrawn. The Court also explains what happened when the petition was withdrawn.

In every case of the withdrawal of an election petition to which section 229(3) applies, the High Court shall make a report to the Speaker stating whether in its opinion the withdrawal of the petition was the result of any corrupt arrangement or in consideration of the withdrawal of any other election petition and, if so, the circumstances attending the withdrawal.
