( Oral ) The petitioners, who are the Panches of Gram Panchayat Village Khusropur, Block Jalandhar East, District Jalandhar, have filed this petition against the order dated 20.9.2006 (Annexure P-11), passed by the Special Secretary, Government of Punjab, Rural Development and Panchayat Department, Punjab, whereby no confidence motion passed against respondent No.5 was set aside on the ground that the meeting for considering no confidence motion was not properly convened. Now, during the pendency of this writ petition, the term of Panchayat has expired and new election to the Gram Panchayat, Village CWP No. 16903 of 2006 -2- Khusropur, Block Jalandhar East, District Jalandhar has already been held and a new Sarpanch has been elected. In view of this fact, in our opinion, this writ petition has become infructuous. Ordered accordingly. However, as far as handing over the record of the Panchayat, if any, with respondent No.5 is concerned, the Block Development and Panchayat Officer, Jalandhar, will take necessary steps in accordance with law.
