JUDGMENT

The petitioner, who is the Principal of a College, has challenged the prescription of the University to conduct the election by presidential mode. The Principal alleges that, the same is contrary to the earlier Circular of the University which permits elections by either parliamentary or presidential mode. In any circumstance, the prescribed date for election is over and the College, in which the petitioner is the Principal, has not conducted the election due to various factors. In such circumstances, the writ petition as of now would not survive. Leaving open all the contentions of the petitioner, the writ petition would stand dismissed as infructuous.
