AMIT RAWAL J. (ORAL)
Learned counsel for the State submits that the challenge in the writ petition is to the election of the President of the Municipal Council, Dharamkot. The writ petition is of the year 2000 and the tenure of the office of President of Municipal Council is already over, thus, nothing survives for consideration in the writ petition.
The writ petition is dismissed as having become infructuous.
