Deshmukh, Advocate for the respondent no.4 ..... CORAM : B.R. GAVAI AND M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 9TH NOVEMBER, 2011 ORAL ORDER: 1. Heard. 2. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 13.10.2011 vide which the petitioner has been disqualified as a Councilor of the Parbhani Municipal Council under the provisions of Section 3 of the Maharashtra Local Authority Members Disqualification Act, 1986 (for short "the said Act"). 3. During the pendency of the Petition, the Parbhani Municipal Council has been dissolved, (2) WP 8287.11 inasmuch as the same has been replaced by the Municipal Corporation. Perusal of section 3 of the said Act would reveal that the disqualification is for being a Councilor or a Member. The said section does not provide that the disqualification would also continue to operate for any further period. 4. In that view of the matter, we find that in view of dissolution of the Municipal Council, the Petition is rendered infructuous and is disposed of as such. Sd/- Sd/- [M. T. JOSHI, J.] [B. R.
