After scrutiny, the nomination of the petitioner was found to be valid and the list of valid nominations was displayed in the prescribed format on 30.06.2001. The second respondent herein by proceedings dated 01.07.2001 however declared the nomination of the petitioner as invalid after considering the objections raised by the fourth respondent-Telugu Desam Party candidate. Assailing the same, the petitioner filed the present Writ Petition. Though this Court while admitting the Writ Petition on 03.07.2001, while observing that the impugned order suffers from incurable legal infirmities, ordered interim suspension and further directed that the petitioner be treated as one of the candidates for Election of the MPTC, Korviched Constituency. The Elections were to be scheduled on 12.07.2001. In all probability, the petitioner contested the Election and therefore, nothing survives in the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is therefore dismissed as infructuous. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 8th September 2004 RRB ASSISTANT REGISTRAR //True Copy// SECTION OFFICER Copy To: 1.The Mandal Revenue Officer, Bashirabad Mandal, Ranga Reddy District & Election Officer, Bashirabad Mandal. 2.The Revenue Divisional Officer, Vikarabad Division, Ranga Reddy District & Deputy District Election Officer. 3.The District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, Hyderabad. 4.Two CCs to G.P. for Revenue, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad (OUT). 5.Two CD copies.
