CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJ MOHAN SINGH
Present: Mr. Vivek K. Thakur, Advocate, for the petitioner.

RAJ MOHAN SINGH, J. (Oral)
Learned counsel for respondent No.5 submits that
the elections have been held and this writ petition has become infructuous.
Learned counsel further submits that the writ petition is not maintainable against the private union i.e. respondent No.5.
Be that as it may, since the elections have already been held, therefore, no bonafide purpose would be served while keeping this petition pending.
