All these petitions were filed challenging the right of the voters from the Grampanchayat constituency. The dispute was as to whether the person whose name is sent by Grampanchayat is entitled to vote or whether in case the term of Grampanchayat is over and in that case whether new representative is to be nominated. The issue was referred to the Division Bench in Writ Petition No. 8472/2015. Accordingly, now the reference is answered by the Division Bench holding that in 7 of 8 8 18-wp 8472-2015.odt case, where the term of Grampanchayat expires then naturally the term of the member of Grampanchayat being co-terminus with the Grampanchayat also ceases to have right to hold and in such cases new person is to be elected by Grampanchayat. Since the petitions were in respect of the elections those were to be held in the year 2015, by eflux of time those have become infructuous. The statement is made that the term of 2015-2020 is already over and thereafter there is administrator appointed and now in the year 2023 the elections are again held for the next term. All over the Maharashtra the elections of APMC are held and even notification is issued on 04.05.2023 in respect of all the APMC’s. 2. In view of the same, all these writ petitions have become
