CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE AND P.D. KODE, JJ. DATED : AUGUST 07, 2009. Heard Mr. A.S. Chandurkar, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. V.A. Thakre, learned Assistant Government Pleader who waives notice on behalf of respondent no.1. In view of the order we propose to pass, we do not deem it necessary to issue notice to other respondents. The petitioners are the councillors in Saoner Municipal Council. The petitioners and respondent nos. 3 to 6 belong to “Saoner Nagar Vikas Aghadi”. Respondent nos.3 to 6 submitted application dated 17.6.2009 to respondent no.1 seeking permission to constitute a separate group and appointing respondent no.3 as their Leader. Thereafter, the petitioners filed representation 2 dated 23.6.2009 to respondent no.1 requesting him to declare respondent nos.3 to 6 disqualified in terms of Section 3(a) of the Maharashtra Local Authority Members’ Disqualification Act, 1986 and Rules framed thereunder. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondent no.1 has not disposed of the said representation which respondent no.1 is bound to decide. Mr. Thakre, learned AGP states that Collector shall take decision on the said representation within a period of three weeks from today by following the procedure in accordance with law. The statement is accepted. In view of the statement made by Mr. Thakre, nothing survives in the present petition and accordingly petition stands disposed of. Steno copy of the order duly authenticated by Sheristedar be supplied to the parties to act upon. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
