Tuesday, March 01, 2011 P.C. The learned counsel for the petitioner prays for time to file rejoinder to the affidavit-in-reply filed by the Secretary to the Election Commissioner for the Union Territories. 2. Since the reply affidavit was filed on 13th January, 2011 and a copy thereof was also served on the learned counsel for the petitioner at the relevant time, we are not inclined to entertain the prayer for adjournment. We, therefore, proceed to hear the writ petition. 3. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, we are of the view that since the elections to the Municipal Council of Union Territories of Daman and Diu have already been held on 23rd January, 2011, the present petition has become infructuous. On that ground alone, we dismiss this petition. srk 2 wp-9433-10.sxw 4. We do not express any opinion on the merits of the controversy which they may raise before any other forum. Subject to the above observation, petition is dismissed. CHIEF JUSTICE S.J. VAZIFDAR, J.
