State Ex Rel. Howard v. Lake Circuit Court

This is an original action for a writ of prohibition. We issued a temporary writ prohibiting the Lake Circuit Court from exercising any further jurisdiction in a certain cause entitled John Pavlon v. Johnnie L. Howard, number C54-391, which was a proceeding for a recount of the ballots for nomination on the Democratic ticket for the office of Member of Calumet Township Advisory Board of Lake County.

The return to the petition here is not verified, but it does have attached certified copies of certain court records which constitute proper evidence here. See State ex rel. Wall v. Cass Circuit…
