NO. 826 OF 2002 F -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd February, 2008 O R D E R The Revision is filed by the first respondent in O.P.(Election) No.9 of 2000, on the file of the Court of the Principal Munsiff of Thiruvananthapuram. The petition was filed by the first respondent herein, challenging the election of the revision petitioner as member of the Pothencode Grama Panchayat in the election held on 27.9.2000. By the order impugned, the contention raised by the revision petitioner that the court below had no territorial jurisdiction was accepted, but the court below returned the petition for presentation before the Munsiff's Court, Attingal. Petitioner challenges that part of the order returning the petition for presentation before the proper court. Since the election which was impugned was of the year 2000 and since the Election Petition itself has become infructuous, I do not think it is necessary to keep the Revision pending. The Civil Revision Petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous.
