Questioning the order of the Election Tribunal petitioner filed this writ petition and obtained stay of the order of the Election Tribunal. 3 Since the term of election of the petitioner is only 5 years from 2000, and as the term of election of the first respondent expired, the petition becomes infructuous and hence is dismissed with costs. -------------------------------- Justice C.Y.Somayajulu 25.10.2007 kvsn
