This Court issued notice to the respondent no.2 on 21st August 1995 and granted ad-interim relief staying the enforcement and implementation of the order dated 11th August 1995 if it has not enforced or implemented. Rule was issued in this matter on 20.8.1996. Because of the ad-interim order dated 21.8.1995, the elected representatives of the Panchayat continued to function. It is stated by the learned Counsel that the term of the Panchayat has expired during the pendency of the petition. It was also submitted that during the pendency of the petition, on 25th August 2000, the Panchayat passed a resolution accepting the impugned notification and to request this Court to permit the Panchayat to withdraw the petition. Learned Counsel Mr.M.R.Shah appearing for respondents nos.2 & 3 places on record the said resolution together with the forwarding letter addressed by the Administrator to him. Learned Counsel Mr.Tushar Mehta appearing for the petitioner submits that he is not aware about any resolution that has been passed during the pendency of the petition. In view of the fact that the petitioner Panchayat through its Administrator now does not want to proceed with the hearing of the present petition and necessary resolution to that effect is passed by the Panchayat, no useful purpose will be served to keep the present petition pending. In my opinion, it has become infructuous and is accordingly disposed of. Rule is discharged. Interim relief granted earlier stands vacated. No order as to costs. However, liberty is granted to the petitioner in case of any difficulty. 4th Oct.2001 (K.R. Vyas, J.) Sreeram.
