ORAL JUDGEMENT

The petitioner had challenged the orders at Annexures "A" & "B" to the petition passed by the respondents under the provisions of Sections 51(1) and 51(3) of The Gujarat Panchayats Act, 1961, by which the petitioner was ordered to be suspended from the post of Sarpanch on the ground that he was being prosecuted for the offence involving moral turpitude. When Rule was issued in this petition on 15.1.1993, ad-interim relief was granted in favour of the petitioner in terms of paragraph 7(B), staying the order of his suspension. The tenure of the petitioner's post is over long ago and therefore, this petition has become infructuous. Rule is therefore discharged with no order as to costs.

Ad-interim relief stands vacated.
