the District Judge1, Kolhapur, at Kolhapur in Election Petition No.2 of 2007 expires today i.e. 2042010 and, therefore, the learned counsel for the appellant/petitioner is required to move this Court in appeal, as the Learned Single Judge declined to extend the stay and granted circulation for 2742010. It is submitted that the reliefs sought by the appellant would become infructuous if stay is not extended, pending the hearing and admission of the petition. It is submitted that the adinterim stay granted by the Learned Single Judge at the initial stage, in normal course, ought to have been extended till the matter is taken up for hearing. The learned counsel for the respondents submits that as the order was granted without hearing the parties on merits, this Court may pass appropriate order effective till the date on which the matter has been granted circulation by the Learned Single Judge.
