1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE Letters Patent appeal No.317 of 2002 With Civil Application No.5 of 2004 In Writ Petition No.5140 of 2002 Shri R.G.Mandavkar & ors. Appellants Vs. State of Maharashtra & ors. Respondents Mrs.U.M.Jhaveri for appellants. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & D.B.BHOSALE,JJ. July 11, 2008 P.C. . Heard Mrs.Jhaveri, the learned counsel for the appellants. Writ Petition No.5140 of 2002 was rejected summarily on 11/9/2002 by the Single Bench of this Court. It was observed that the election programme was already set in motion and, therefore, as per the law laid down by the Apex Court no interference could be caused in the said election process. The petitioner was left to the remedy of challenging the election as and when the election process would be completed. . This order came to be challenged in this Letters Patent appeal. while admitting this Appeal, 2 by way of interim order the Administrator was directed not to declare the election results, as per the order dated 8/10/2002. This order came to be challenged in Civil Appeal No.9594 2003. The appeal was allowed and the order passed by this Court directing not to declare the election results was set aside. Admittedly the managing committee has a tenure of three years and, therefore, with the passage of time this LPA has become infructuous. . Hence the LPA is dismissed as infructuous. . Civil Application No.5 of 2004 does not survive and is disposed as such. (D.B.BHOSALE,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
