Civil Writ Petition No. 16020 of 2008 Date of Decision: 29.10.2010 Inderpal Singh and Another …Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and Another …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Harsimran Singh Sethi, Advocate for the petitioners. Ms. Ambika Luthra, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, for respondent No.1. Mr. Prem Kumar, Advocate for respondent No.2. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The present writ petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking quashing of the impugned orders dated 14.8.2008 (Annexure P3) and dated 22.8.2008 (Annexure P4), whereby petitioner No.1 being President and petitioner No.2 being Senior Vice President of Nagar Panchayat, Raja Sansi, were removed on the ground that they have prepared double votes and double identity cards and have misused their position. A Division Bench of this Court, vide order dated 9.9.2008, had stayed the operation of the impugned orders. It is very fairly stated by Mr. Sethi that the term of petitioners has come to an end and the Administrator has been appointed to Civil Writ Petition No. 16020 of 2008 2 manage the affairs of the Nagar Panchayat, Raja Sansi. Since the petitioners were not disqualified to hold any office in future, to determine the validity of impugned orders dated 14.8.2008 (Annexure P3) and dated 22.8.2008 (Annexure P4), is only an academic exercise. Therefore, this Court shall refrain to do the same as the petitioners continued in their office and completed their term. Hence, the present writ petition has been rendered infructuous and the same is disposed of as such, with no order as to costs. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge October 29, 2010 “DK”
