Rajendra Subhash Shinde and Anr. v. Mrs. Anita Namdev Bhosale and Anr.
Case brief
What is this about?
Writ petition under Maharashtra Village Panchayats Act, 1959 — disqualification of Sarpanch under Section 14(1)(j-5) r/w Section 16 — challenge to Additional Commissioner, Pune Division order in Grampanchayat Dispute Appeal No. 3 of 2018 — respondent's term expired in 2020 — writ petition disposed of as infructuous; no ruling on merits of disqualification.
What did the court decide?
Since respondent No.1's elective term expired in 2020, nothing survives for consideration in the writ petition, which is therefore disposed of as infructuous; pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of. ¶3
