In the petition, the petitioner has stated that he is a duly elected Sarpanch since three years. SCA/7930/2000 2/2 JUDGMENT This petition was filed in 2000. The term of the petitioner as Sarpanch would therefore have started in the year 1997. By now, the term would be over. No useful purpose will be served in deciding the question of removal of the petitioner when his term itself is over quite some time back. The petition has therefore become infructuous and is disposed of as such. Rule is discharged with no order as to costs. (Akil Kureshi, J.) (vjn)
