JUDGMENT
The petitioners in W.P.(C) No. 15464 of 2017, who are
Secretaries of registered Volleyball Clubs in Malappuram District,
seek a direction to the 5 th respondent to accept the nomination from
the petitioners, renotify the election to the 4 th respondent Association
and to conduct the election strictly in accordance with the provisions
contained in the Kerala Sports Act and the Kerala Sports Rules, 2008,
and also a declaration that Ext. P3 notification is issued in violation of
Rule 78 of the Kerala Sports Rules, 2008 and direct the 5 th
respondent.
2. The petitioner in W.P.(C) No. 15609 of 2017, the Secretary
of a Volleyball Club in Kottayam District, seeks a direction to
respondents 1 to 3 to ensure that election of office bearers are
conducted only in accordance with valid voters list prepared and
finalised in accordance with the directions of 2 nd respondent and
W.P.(C) Nos.15464 & 15609 of 2017 :7:
countersigned by the Secretary of the 3rd respondent.
3. The subject issue relates to the election scheduled to be
conducted allegedly in violation of the Rule 78 of the Kerala Sports
Rules, 2008.
4. I am informed that subsequent to the election so scheduled,
a yet another election has taken place in the year 2021. In that view
of the matter, I do not think, anything survives to be considered in
this writ petition.
Accordingly, these writ petitions are dismissed as infructuous.
