Both learned counsels would submit that the issue involved relates to Election and the period of office has also come to an end and therefore, nothing survives for consideration in the Civil Revision Petitions. In view of the same, these Civil Revision Petitions are dismissed as infructuous. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
