The Patna High Court dismissed a writ petition challenging a stay order on the election of a Panchayat Agriculture Credit Society. The court held that since the election was conducted during the petition's pendency, the issue became infructuous.
The writ petition was disposed of as infructuous because the election had already taken place.
