Heard Mr.V.Ramana Reddy, party-in-person and Mr.R.Ravichandran, the learned Additional Government Pleader for the first respondent.

2. This writ petition is filed praying that this Court may be pleased to issue a writ of Mandamus to direct the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, dated 16.5.2012, and to conduct an enquiry relating to the election of office bearers of the second respondent, to be held on 3.6.2012 or on any other future date.

3. The petitioner had submitted that the election for electing the office bearers of the second respondent samaj was proposed to be held on 3.6.2012, without following the necessary formalities, including by-laws of the second respondent society.

4. The learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the first respondent had submitted that the present writ petition has become infructuous, as the election for electing the office bearers of the second respondent samaj had already been held, for the years 2012-2015, and the respective office bearers had taken charge of their posts. It has also been submitted that the civil suit, in C.S.No.42 of 2001, had also been filed before this Court relating to the framing of the schemes, in respect of the second respondent samaj, and the matter is pending before the Supreme Court, at present.

5. Considering the submissions made by the petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the first respondent, this Court is of the considered view that no relief could be granted by this Court in the present writ petition, at this stage, as the election for electing the office bearers of the second respondent samaj, for the years 2012-2015, had already been held and a civil suit had also been filed, in respect of the said election. Therefore, the writ petition has become infructuous. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. No costs. Connected M.P.No.1 of 2012 is closed.
