IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2221 of 2008 LALITA DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 5. 21.7.2008 The petitioner has come to this Court with grievances including her threatened removal from the post of Mayor of Gaya Municipal Corporation by the Divisional Commissioner. During the pendency of the writ application, the Divisional Commissioner as a matter of fact passed an order removing the petitioner from her office. Admittedly, against the said order, the petitioner has taken recourse to statutory appeal provided under Section 25(6) of the Bihar Municipal Act, 2007. It is stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that the appeal was heard by the Secretary of the department as the competent authority on 20.5.2008 but according to the information of the petitioner, no final order has been passed therein. In view of the aforesaid circumstances, the present writ application ought not to proceed. It is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the Principal Secretary, Urban Development Department to dispose of the appeal of the petitioner within a period of four weeks from today. Until the said appeal is decided, no third party rights shall be created by holding an election to the post of Mayor of Gaya Municipal Corporation. P. Kumar (Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
