Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding the election of a Block Pramukh under the U.P. Kshetra Panchayats and Zila Panchayat Adhiniyam, 1961, as infructuous due to the expiration of the term in 2011. The Court noted that while the appeal was rendered moot, it left open the legal questions raised for future consideration. The ruling emphasizes the principle that cases become non-justiciable when the subject matter is no longer relevant.
