--------------------- W.P (C) No.15050 of 2015 --------------------- Dated this the 20th day of November, 2015

J U D G M E N T

The issue is covered by the judgment dated 1.9.2015 in W.P.(C) No.15191/2015. The notification by which new Panchayaths were formed stands quashed in W.P.(C) No.15524/2015. Therefore the choice of the headquarters of the newly formed Panchayat also looses relevance in the circumstances.

2. It shall be open to the petitioners to bring their grievance to the notice of the Government as and when a new Panchayat is formed in future. The Writ Petition has become infructuous in the light of the judgment in W.P.(C) Nos.15524/2015 and 15191/2015. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous.

Sd/- V.CHITAMBARESH, Judge.
