Nemo for respondent Nos.4 and 5. **** M EHINDER S INGH S ULLAR , J.(oral) As is evident from the record that the petitioner was elected as a Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat Lohia Khas, Tehsil Nakodar, District Jalandhar, in the year 1983. In the wake of inquiry report dated 09.11.1992(Annexure P-7), he (petitioner) was suspended from the said post vide impugned order dated 09.11.1992(Annexure P-8) by the Deputy Director, Panchayats, Punjab, exercising the power of the Director. 2. The petitioner did not feel satisfied and preferred the present writ petition, challenging the impugned report(Annexure P-7) and the impugned suspension order(Annexure P-8), invoking the provisions of Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India. 3. At the very outset, learned State Counsel has submitted that since the previous term for the post of Sarpanch has already expired and, thereafter, many elections of the indicated Gram Panchayat have already been held, so, this writ petition has become infructuous. The contention of the learned State Counsel has Civil Writ Petition No.16858 of 1992 2 considerable force. This appears to be the reason that nobody is appearing on behalf of the petitioner to prosecute the petition in this context. In this view of the matter, the instant writ petition is hereby dismissed, as having become infructuous. March 30, 2011 (MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR) seema JUDGE
