THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.22579 OF 1996 DATED: 07-02-2007 Between : D. Karegowd ... Petitioner And 1. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Dharmavaram, Ananthapur District., and another. ... Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.22579 OF 1996 ORDER : The petitioner who is a fair price shop dealer ﬁled this writ petition questioning the order passed by the 1st respondent, dated 21-5-1996 in which the authorization of the petitioner was cancelled on the ground that the petitioner suffered disqualification on being elected as a Member of MPTC, Brahmasamudram Village. Though Rule Nisi was ordered on 18-10-1996, the respondents did not choose to appear and no counter- affidavit is filed. Since the tenure of the membership of MPTC had expired long back during pendency of this writ petition, the alleged disqualification does not survive as on today. By virtue of the interim order of suspension granted pending the writ petition, the impugned order has worked itself out. Hence, adjudication on merits at this point of time is not necessary. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the Writ Petition is allowed. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI,J. Dt. 7-2-2007 gbs
