By order dated 23rd March, 2011 in Writ Petition No.2005 of 2011, the Nashik Municipal Corporation was required to take fresh steps for convening the General Body Meeting for nomination of one Member from the Standing Committee from MNS quota in accordance with law before holding a meeting of the Standing Committee for election of the Chairman on 30th March, 2011. 2. The request for stay of the operation of that direction was rejected by the Court on the ground that the last date of meeting of the Standing Committee was 30th March, 2011. srk 2 wp-2606-11.sxw 3. The petitioners herein made a grievance that in spite of the aforesaid direction of the Court in the above order, the meeting of the Standing Committee for election of the Chairperson was scheduled to be held on 30th March, 2011, without convening the General Body Meeting for nomination of one member of the Standing Committee from MNS quota in accordance with law. 4. In view of the above, we had passed an interim order dated 29th March, 2011 directing the respondents to hold an Extraordinary General Body Meeting/Special General Body Meeting for complying with the directions in the above order dated 23rd March, 2011, by convening a meeting of the General Body of the Municipal Corporation on 31st March, 2011 at 11.00 a.m. and thereafter to hold the meeting of the Standing Committee for election of the Chairperson at 2.00 p.m. We had thus directed the respondents to re- schedule the meeting of the Standing Committee for election of the Chairperson. 5. The notice in this petition was made returnable on 1st April, 2011 and thereafter the hearing was adjourned. 6. The learned counsel for the petitioners states that respondent Nos.1 to 5 have been served. 7. Mr. V.D. Patil, learned Government Pleader appears for respondent Nos.1 and 5 and Mr. V.A. Gangal, learned Senior Advocate appears for respondent Nos.2 and 4. None appears for respondent No.3- The Mayor of Nashik Municipal Corporation. srk 3 wp-2606-11.sxw 8. Having regard to the fact that all that we had done by our directions dated 29th March, 2011 was to require the Municipal Corporation to follow the directions given by this Court in the order dated 23rd March, 2011 in Writ Petition No.2005 of 2011 and in the absence of any opposition from respondent Nos.1 to 5, we see no reason to keep this petition pending as the interim order has worked itself out. In the result, this petition is disposed of. Copy of this order shall be served upon all the respondents within one week from today and if any party is aggrieved by the present order, it is open to such a party to move this Court within two weeks from the date of service of the order.
