DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 P.C.:- A motion of no confidence was moved against the Sarpanch in year 1997. It was challenged on the ground that earlier, a similar motion had been moved, and, within a period of 6 months, the second motion could not be moved. The matter was decided by the Competent Authority. 2 2. Thereafter, an appeal was filed before the Commissioner, who dismissed it by a well-reasoned order on 9th September, 1998. 3. We do not think that it will be necessary for us to decide this matter at this point of time. Ten years have passed, and the question remains only of academic interest. 4. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed and the Rule discharged. The Civil Application also stands disposed of. BILAL NAZKI, J. J.H. BHATIA, J.
