The respondents contend that in view of the relevant Rules framed under the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act, Ext.P1 executive order has no application in awarding works by grama panchayats. Since there was no itnerim order, this Writ Petition has become infructuous. Therefore, it is unnecessary to decide the above dispute in this Writ Petition. Accordingly, it is closed without prejudice to the contentions of the petitioner. 22.01.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
