(Order of the Court was made by S.NAGAMUTHU, J.) The petitioner has come up with this public interest litigation seeking a direction to the first respondent to hold enquiry invoking the powers under Section 205 of the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act 1994 against the 4th respondent, who is the Village Panchayat Board President of Sivanthipuram Village Panchayat in Tirunelveli District and to remove him from the post.
2. This writ petition has been filed on various allegations against the 4th respondent. In our considered view, since the term of office of the 4th respondent is over soon and election notification has also been issued by the Election Commission, nothing survives for adjudication in this petition. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently connected Miscellaneous Petitions are also dismissed.
