Shri. V.M. Humbe, Advocate for the petitioner Shri M.L. Dharashive, AGP for respondent Nos. 1 to 4 Shri N.R. Salunke, Advocate for respondents 5 to 9 ..... CORAM : S. S. SHINDE, J. DATED : 21ST JULY, 2009 P. C. :- 1 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned AGP for respondent State and its authorities and learned counsel for respondent Nos. 5 to 9. I have perused the pleading in the petition and the prayers. It appears that the petitioner has filed this petition praying for quashing and setting aside the meeting of no confidence motion dated 27.11.2001 for the village of Kolwadi Tq. Kannad, District Aurangabad and further to quash and set aside the judgment and order passed by the Additional Commissioner, Aurangabad in Appeal No. 2001/DB/Desk-II/ZPVP/appeal-CR-79 dated 13.3.2002 and the judgment and order of the Collector in Appeal No. 2001/Appeal/BVP/-25 dated 21.12.2001. 2 On careful perusal of the contents of petition, it appears that the petition was 2 directed against no confidence motion moved against the petitioner. Normally the duration of the Gram Panchayat member or Sarpanch, as the case may be, is for five years, therefore, by passage of time, the period for which the petitioner was elected as a member of Gram Panchayat or Sarpanch, is over. The relevant term for which the petitioner was elected, is over and by this time and further election of the Gram Panchayat has been taken place. In view of this, in my considered view, nothing remains to be decided in this writ petition. The writ petition has become infructuous and the same is disposed of. Rule discharged. Interim relief, if any, stands vacated. *****
