AJN 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.8184 OF 2006 Mahendra Khetumal Jain ... Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondents Ms. Seema Sarnaik for the petitioner. Ms. M.P. Thakur, A.G.P. for the State. CORAM : SMT. RANJANA DESAI & SMT. ROSHAN DALVI, JJ. DATED : JANUARY 15, 2008. P.C.:- The petitioner was the co-opted councillor of Ratnagiri Municipal Council. Admittedly, his term was for the period 2001- 2006. That term has expired. Therefore, the challenge raised to the Maharashtra Ordinance No.XI of 2006 dated 19/10/2006 of the Rural Development and Water Conservation Department has, at present, become academic. In the circumstances, we are unable to entertain this petition. However, if the circumstances so AJN 2 demand, the petitioner can always re-agitate his challenge to the said Ordinance. The petition is disposed of as infructuous. [SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.] [SMT. ROSHAN DALVI, J.]
