Challenge is made by the petitioner by this Special Civil Application to the order dated 7th February 1987 of the respondent under which he was ordered to be removed from the office of the Director on Board of Directors of the Gujarat State Cooperative Oil Industries Ltd. This order has been passed in exercise of powers under Rule 32(1)(c) of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Rules 1965 (hereinafter referred to as the `Rules'). 2. The operation of this order has been stayed by this Court and the petitioner, under the stay order granted by this Court would have completed his tenure in the office of the Director on the Board of Directors of the society. The learned counsel for the petitioner admits that election of Director was only for a fixed time and that time would have come to an end long back. Taking into consideration the totality of the facts of the case, in my view, this Special Civil Application has become infructuous as nothing now survives to be decided. Rule discharged. Ad-interim relief, granted by this Court, stands vacated. ....... (sunil)
