Naik, JJ. DATE : January 28, 2008. Heard Mr.A.S.Kilor, Adv. for the Petitioner, Mr.Thakre, Assistant Government Pleader for the Respondent Nos. 1, 2 and 4 and Dr. Anjan De, Adv. for the Respondent No.3. Reply to the application for amendment filed by the A.P.M.C. dt. 28.1.2008 is taken on record. Similarly, submission of the respondent no.3 are also taken on record. Counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw the Civil Application No. 372 of 2008 which is filed by the petitioner seeking permission to amend the petition. By the proposed amendment, the petitioner wants to challenge the order of extension granted by the Government in respect of term of Officer bearers of the Respondent No.3-Agricultural Produce Market Committee, Amravati with liberty to challenge the same since the cause of action is independent and distinct. In the circumstances, the Civil Application is disposed of as 'withdrawn' with liberty, as prayed for. 2 So far as the present Writ Petition is concerned, the petitioner is seeking a direction to the respondent nos. 1, 2 and 4 to hold elections of the respondent no.3-A.P.M.C. The A.P.M.C. has filed reply to the Civil Application for amendment dt. 28.1.2008, wherein it is stated that the process of elections has already begun and the preliminary list of voters has been published and objection to the said list were also invited; preparation of electoral rolls is intermediate process of elections and since the election process is set in motion, appropriate steps are required to be taken for holding of the elections and same would be taken. In view of the above referred statement made by counsel for the Respondent No.3-A.P.M.C., the cause of action in the present Writ Petition does not survive. The same is, therefore, dismissed as 'infructuous'. JUDGE JUDGE ssj
