Bhardwaj, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.3, have stated at the bar that petitioner has expired, therefore, present petition has been rendered infructuous. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner could not dispute factum of death of the petitioner. The only argument advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner is that legal heirs of the petitioner may not hold office of Sarpanch after removal of respondent No.3 as Sarpanch but this Court must see legality of the order whereby respondent No.3 was appointed as Sarpanch. Present dispute is about the office of the Sarpanch, therefore, there is no question of impleadment of the legal heirs. Dismissed having been rendered infructuous. (Alok Singh) Judge September 13, 2011 R.S.
