By the said proceedings, the first respondent issued a notification excluding certain survey numbers of Gram Panchayats of Puttaparthi, Enumalapalli, Kappalabanda, Beedupalli, Brahmanapalli etc., in Prasant Nilayam Township, in view of the notification of the Commissioner of Panchayat Raj, including the said survey numbers in Prasant Nilayam Township area. The petitioner, who is a resident and voter of Enumalapalli Gram Panchayat, assailed the same on the eve of Elections to Gram Panchayat. His grievance is that persons who are residing in the survey numbers excluded from the Gram Panchayat are still shown as voters in the Panchayat Election. This Court while admitting the Writ Petition on 17.08.2001 ordered the Election schedule to go on but declined to pass any interim order. As the Elections were already held, 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.
