O R D E R
[Order of the Court was made by M.M.SUNDRESH, J.] The issue raised in this writ petition is pending before the Committee constituted by this Court, pursuant to the orders passed by the Division Bench of the Principal Seat of this Court in W.P.No.7526 of 2018, etc., batch., dated 03.08.2018 and therefore, the subsequent election for phase-II cannot be allowed to go on. 2.The aforesaid grievance cannot be a base to entertain this writ petition. The subsequent election would constitute number of other societies. Therefore, interest of various other state holders is also involved, unfortunately, they are not before us. Further, it has been informed us that similar issue has already been considered by this Court and rejected on 05.10.2018.
3.In such view of the matter, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition. Accordingly, the same is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, WMP(MD)Nos.18893 and 18894 of 2018 are closed.
