Perusal of the petition shows that it relates to declaration of the result of elections of a Sarpanch held in the year 1996. The period of office of Sarpanch is over long ago. It is perhaps due to this reason that the petitioners are not appearing before the court though notice was served on them. In the circumstances, petition is dismissed for non prosecution. (D.G.
