The petitioner has assailed his disqualification caused by the authorities under Section 14 (1)(j-3) of the Maharashtra Village Panchayats Act, 1958. 2. Mr. A. A. Khande, learned Advocate for the petitioner submits that the term of the body is over and hence the matter has become infructuous. He further points out that the petitioner was protected by this Court under an interim order. Suffice to note, he further submits that the disqualification under Section 14(1)(j-3) of the Act is not of perennial nature and considering the very text of the said clause (j-3), it would be co-terminus with the term of the body itself. 3. In view of this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of as infructuous. ( AJIT B. KADETHANKAR, J. ) PRW 2026:BHC-AUG:41596
