JUDGMENT
In all the three writ petitions, challenge is made against a common order passed by the Kerala State Election Commission with respect to a petition filed alleging defection by the respondents.
2. However, the subject matter is of the year 2010 and thereafter, two successive elections are conducted to the Local Self Government Institutions. Consequently, the writ petitions have become infructuous.
Accordingly, these writ petitions are dismissed as infructuous.
