.

Having regard to the fact that the election of the Municipal Corporation has already been declared, we are of the view that nothing survives in this Petition. We are not inclined to accept the Petitioner's prayer to decide the matter even after the declaration of the election as that would be only academic.

2.

We, accordingly dispose of the Petition on the ground that it has rendered infructuous. However, it will be open for the Petitioner to challenge the circular in case need so arises. (PRAKASH D. NAIK, J.) (SHANTANU S. KEMKAR, J.) Vishal Parekar 1/1
