Mr. H.S. Bedi, Advocate for the petitioner.

*** HARSH BUNGER, J. (Oral) 1.

The present Writ Petition has been filed under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India seeking issuance of writ in the nature of mandamus for directing respondents No.1 to 3 to cease the Sarpanch-respondent No.4 in terms of provisions of Section 5 of the Punjab Panchayati Raj Act as the Sarpanch has failed to hold to consecutive general meetings of Hari and Sawni of the Gram Sabha. 2.

At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the present petition has become infructuous in view of the fact that the term of the then Sarpanch/Gram Panchayat had expired, therefore he does not wish to pursue the instant petition any further.

3.

In view of the above, the instant Petition is dismissed as having been rendered infructuous.

4.

All pending application(s), if any, shall also stand closed. 18.07.2024 (HARSH BUNGER) Himani JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned:
