WP.4709-91 - 1 - VPH IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION No. 4709 OF 1991 Jalees Sajhir Shaikh ...Petitioner Vs. Abdul Hamid Abdul Khalique Ansari & Ors. ...Respondents *** Mr. Ajit Karwande, for the Petitioner. Mr. Firoz A. Ansari, for Respondent No.1. Mr. A. I. Patel, AGP for the Respondent Nos. 2 to 4. *** CORAM: V. M. KANADE J. DATE : JANUARY 7, 2011 P.C. . Heard the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, respondent No.1 and the learned AGP appearing on behalf of respondent Nos. 2 to 4. By this petition, the petitioner is challenging the judgment and order passed by the Assistant Charity Commissioner who by his judgment dated 7th October, 1991 was pleased to hold that in the meetings held on 10th March, 1983 and 15th April, 1983 were duly admitted as members and therefore, the elections which were held in WP.4709-91 - 2 - May 1991, the Committee was duly elected. A further direction was given to hand over charge to the newly appointed Managing Committee. This order was challenged by the petitioner in this petition. 2. This Court was pleased to grant an interim relief in terms of prayer clause (b) by order dated 29-10-1991. It is an admitted position that the term of the said Committee is over and thereafter several elections have been held. In my view, therefore, this petition has become infructuous. It is always open for the respondent to make a fresh application for admitting the person, whom they want to grant membership and the Committee of the General Body may consider their application and pass appropriate orders. The order, therefore, passed by the Assistant Charity Commissioner also will not survive, since the term of the erstwhile Committee is already over. The directions given by the Assistant Charity Commissioner in the impugned order, therefore, also have become infructuous. Writ petition is, therefore, dismissed [ V. M. KANADE J.]
