Shri. V.S. Bedre, Advocate for the petitioner Shri M.L. Dharashive, AGP for respondent No.7 ..... CORAM : S. S. SHINDE, J. DATED : 21ST JULY, 2009 P. C. :- 1 This petition takes exception to the order passed by the Additional Commissioner Nashik Division, Nashik in Gram Panchayat Appeal No. 48 of 2002 dated 27.5.2002. 2 From the facts narrated in the petition, it appears that no confidence motion was moved against the petitioner. On the basis of the said notice, the Tahsildar had issued notice of calling meeting on 7.12.2001. On 7.12.2001, no confidence motion was passed against the petitioner. The said action of passing of no confidence motion against the petitioner was challenged before the Additional Collector by the petitioner. The Collector allowed the dispute filed by the petitioner. Original respondent Nos. 1 to 5 preferred Gram Panchayat appeal No. 48 of 2002 before the Additional Commissioner, Nashik. The Additional Commissioner, Nashik allowed the appeal 2 filed by respondent Nos. 1 to 5. That is how the present writ petition is filed by the petitioner. This petition was heard by this Court on 5.7.2002 and issued Rule. 3. On perusal of the contents of the writ petition, it appears that the period for which the present petitioner was elected as member or Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat, as the case may be, has come to an end. Normally, the duration of the member or the Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat is for a period of five years. On careful perusal of the contents of the petition and the order passed by this Court, it appears that this petition has become infructuous in view of the subsequent events, which have occurred after filing of the petition. Hence, the petition is disposed of as infructuous. Rule discharged. Interim relief, if any, stands vacated. *****
