JUSTICE MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR. Present: Nemo for the petitioner. Mr.Sartaj Singh Gill, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. for respondent Nos.1 to 4. Mr.Saqib Ali Khan, Advocate, for respondent Nos.5 to 11. **** M EHINDER S INGH S ULLAR , J.(oral) Petitioner-Gurmail Kaur wife of Sadhu Singh has preferred the instant writ petition, challenging the impugned order dated 25.10.2010(Annexure P-4), by virtue of which she was removed from the post of Sarpanch and Sukhdev Singh(respondent No.5) was elected as an authorised Sarpanch. At the very outset, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent Nos.5 to 11 has stated that as the petitioner has since been expired, therefore, the present writ petition has become infructuous, which may be dismissed as such. That appears to be the reason that nobody is appearing on behalf of the petitioner to prosecute the petition. In this view of the matter, the instant writ petition is dismissed, as having become infructuous. March 28, 2011 (MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR) seema JUDGE
