It is brought to our notice that the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions has passed an order dated 12.6.2009 in the matter and therefore, this writ petition has practically become infructuous. In that view of the matter, we dispose of the writ petition, without prejudice to the liberty to the writ petitioner, if still interested, to pursue the matter in appropriate proceedings.
