JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri S.K. Singodiya for the petitioner. Shri B.S. Chhaba, Dy. G.A. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner against the order dated 26.7.2002 passed by the learned Divisional Commissioner, Kota whereby he was removed from the office of the Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat Chitawa, Panchayat Samiti, Keshorai Patan, District Bundi even though he was not a member of Schedule Caste, he contested the election from the ward reserved for that category. The term of the Gram Panchayat itself having been an end, no useful purpose would be served in keeping this writ petition pending. The petition is dismissed as having become infructuous. The petitioner however shall be at liberty to approach the civil court for getting caste status determined. (Mohammad Rafiq),J. Chauhan/
