Agnihotri, J. Present :- Shri Raj Kamal Singh Advocate forthe petitioner. ORDER (ORAL (Passed on this 21S‘ day of July, 2010) Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that before election of Panchayat the petitioner made an application dated nil before the State Election CommiSSion (Annexure — P/3) for allotting the party symbol which appears to have been received on 30 11-2009. According to the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, no decision has been taken on the aforesaid application of the petitioner. The elections have been over, thus this petition has become infructuous. lt is well settled proposition of law that the Courts should not undertake exercise to decide academic question, when on the facts, it has become infructuous. Even if, the petition is allowed, no useful purpose would be served as the election had already been over. However, since no decision could be taken on the application of the petitioner by the State Election Commission, the petitioner may file a fresh application before the next election for local bodies. It is expected that the State Election Commission shall look into the grievance of the petitioner and pass appropriate x“f orders, in accordance with law and on its own merit. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. if? ' Sd/— , batlsh K Agn‘hstr' I; " Iuage s
