(Delivered by the Hon'ble Acting Chief Justice)

This writ appeal is directed against the order dated 13.12.2021

made in W.P.No.1820 of 2019.

2. When the matter is taken up, Mr.V.Ayyadurai, learned Senior

Counsel appearing for the respondents 3 and 4 submitted that the

tenure of the office bearers, against whom suit and writ petitions

have been filed to declare the election as null and void, has come to

an end and therefore, the challenge to the election has become

infructuous. He further submitted that the appellant has filed his

nomination subsequent to the notification for election.

3. In view of the above, nothing survives in the writ appeal.

Accordingly, the writ appeal fails and the same is dismissed. There

will be no order as to costs. Consequently, CMP Nos.3466 and 9810 of

2022 are also dismissed.
