THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.15590 of 2002 Dated:16.06.2010 Between: Nakka Veladri Ramu. ...Petitioner And The District Collector, Nalgonda, Nalgonda District, And others. ...Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.15590 of 2002 ORDER: The petitioner at the relevant time was Sarpanch of Nampally Gram Panchayat of Nalgonda District. By impugned order vide proceedings No.693/02-A1(Pts.), dated 12.08.2002, the District Collector suspended the petitioner under Section 249(6) of the Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 (the Act). Alleging that the District Collector did not issue a show cause notice before passing the impugned order, the present writ petition is filed. This Court while admitting the writ petition passed interim orders in W.P.M.P.No.19512 of 2002 on the ground that there are no specific allegations in the show cause notice. However, subsequently by order dated 29.11.2002 made in W.V.M.P.No.2551 of 2002 this Court vacated the interim order. Further, as per Section 249(6) of the Act the Collector is competent to suspend the Sarpanch for a period of three months and the period of three months can be extended by the Government for a further period of three months. Furthermore, the term of the Sarpanch elected in 2002 expired in 2006, and fresh elections were held. In view of the subsequent events, there is no necessity to further pursue the matter. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 16.06.2010 vs
