                                  JUDGMENT

Ramachandran Nair, J.(Oral)

Both sides agree that the term of office of the Panchayat

is over. However, counsel submitted that the petitioner wants to

pursue the matter because of the disqualification for six years.

Since fresh elections are held there is no likelihood of further

election within six years. However, if election takes place and

the petitioner is unable to contest on account of the

disqualification, it will be open to the petitioner to approach this

Court. Giving the above freedom to the petitioner we dismiss

this writ appeal.

V.K. BALI,

CHIEF JUSTICE.

C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,

JUDGE.
