THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PEITITON No. 4548 OF 2003 Dated 21st December, 2009 Between: B. Somi Reddy ………Petitioner And The District Collector (PW), Nalgonda District, Nalgonda and two others ………..Respondents The Court made the following ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside proceedings dated 25-02-2003 of respondent No.1. At the hearing, there is no representation for the parties. A perusal of the record shows that the petitioner was elected as Sarpanch in the month of August, 2001. He filed the present writ petition feeling aggrieved by his suspension from office on account of expiry of interim stay granted in WPMP No. 25940 of 2002 in Writ Petition No.20737 of 2002. Inasmuch as tenure of an elected Sarpanch under the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 is only five years and the said period had expired in the year 2006, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for adjudication. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition as infructuous, WPMP No. 5996 of 2003, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is dismissed. C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated: 21st December, 2009 ks
