THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.14748 of 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed against interlocutory order, dated 01.07.2008 passed by the learned Principal Junior Civil Judge, Avanigadda, in I.A.No.639 of 2007 in Election O.P.No.22 of 2006. The first respondent herein was elected as Sarpanch of Pedapudi Gram Panchayat, in the elections held on 06.08.2006. The tenure of the elected candidate is for a period of five (5) years. The petitioner herein has questioned the election of the first respondent by filing Election O.P.No.22 of 2006 before the learned Principal Junior Civil Judge, Avanigadda, which is the Tribunal for resolving the disputes under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj (Election Tribunals in respect of Gram Panchayats, Mandal Parishads and Zilla Parishads) Rules, 1995 (for short ‘the Rules’) framed under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994. In the aforesaid O.P. filed by the petitioner, the first respondent herein filed I.A.No.639 of 2007 under Rule 5(i) and (ii) of the Rules, seeking to dismiss the O.P. for non- compliance of certain mandatory provisions under Rule 5(i) and (ii) of the Rules. The said application filed by the first respondent was allowed vide order, dated 01.07.2008. Such order is challenged in this Writ Petition. The elected term of the first respondent itself is over, as such, the Special Officers were appointed by the Gram Panchayat. Though the petitioner has questioned in this Writ Petition the order passed in I.A.No.639 of 2007, in view of expiry of tenure of the elected Sarpanch, subject matter in the main O.P. itself has become infructuous. In that view of the matter, in any event, as the elected term of the first respondent has already been completed and the Gram Panchayat has appointed the Special Officers, subject matter of the present Writ Petition has become infructuous. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 13th DECEMBER, 2011. kvni
