In this petition, which was filed in the year 1984, the Municipal Corporation had asked for a direction against the Ghodasar Gram Panchayat to treat the demand of the service charges as cancelled for providing water and other facilities to Rabari Colony, which had been constructed by the Corporation. In the facts and circumstances of this case, when Ghodasar Gram Panchayat itself has merged in the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, issue of a direction, as asked for in this petition, would be in effect a direction against the Municipal Corporation itself because Ghodasar Gram Panchayat has been declared as a part and parcel of Municipal Corporation. In our opinion, this Special Civil Application has virtually become infructuous and the same is hereby dismissed as having become infructuous. Rule is hereby discharged. Interim order dt.8.3.84 stands automatically vacated. No order as to costs. -0-
