CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S.SANDHAWALIA
Present: None for the petitioner.
Mr. Nilesh Bhardwaj, DAG, Punjab.
Mr. Ashish Grover, Advocate, for respondent no. 6.
G.S.SANDHAWALIA, J. (Oral)
The petitioner had a remedy of filing an election petition but chose to file the present writ petition. Even the contesting respondent has not been served. Even otherwise, the petition has been rendered infructuous by efflux of time as the tenure of the private respondent has expired since long.
Dismissed as having been rendered infructuous.
