The Court made the following : ORAL JUDGMENT: (per The Honourable Sri Devinder Gupta, the Chief Justice) It is a matter where No Confidence Motion has since been carried out. Learned Single Judge declined to grant any interim relief while entertaining the Writ Petition and directed that result of the No Confidence Motion shall be subject to the ultimate outcome of the Writ Petition. This order was passed a day before the No Confidence Motion was carried out. But, obviously, now that No Confidence Motion has been carried out, respondents will have to initiate proceedings to elect new President of Mandala Praja Parishad, and, until such process is undertaken, the Vice-President has to take charge as a stopgap arrangement. We are of the view that, in the facts and circumstances of the case, it will be, but, appropriate that Writ Petition itself is taken up for early hearing, for which, obviously, respondents will have to be given an opportunity of filing their reply. We direct that Writ Petition will be posted for hearing, for which purpose, appellant will have to take steps for service on the respondents, and, within two weeks from the date of service, Writ Petition will be posted before the learned Single Judge for being heard on merits on priority basis. Till then, it is directed that the ad hoc arrangement will continue and respondents will not undertake the exercise of electing new President. The Writ Appeal stands disposed of. No costs. ______________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, C.J. 02.11.2004. ________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. VR. To 1.The Revenue Divisional officer, Nirmal, Adilabad District. 2.
