IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12531 of 1996 Ajit Kumar, son of Shri Bahadur Ram of Village Malmal, P.O. Malmal, P.S. Kaluahi, District Madhubani, Second year student of Mechanical Branch, M.I.T. (Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology), Muzaffarpur. ----- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Commissioner and Secretary, Science and Technology Department, Vikash Bhawan, Patna. 3. Joint Secretary, Science and Technology Department, Vikash Bhawan, Patna. 4. Principal, Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology, Muzaffarpur. 5. Secretary, Welfare Department, Old Secretariat, Patna. 6. Director, Welfare Department, Old Secretariat, Patna. -------- Respondents ----------- 5 10.5.2011 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. In view of the fact that the relief of the petitioner in this case is confined to his being exempted from payment of Student Welfare and Development charge of Rs. 2,500/- yearly for pursuing his engineering course in the M.I.T., Muzaffarpur and the fact that this Court by an order dated 14.8.1997 had stayed the operation of the order requiring the petitioner to deposit Rs. 2,500/- per year, this Court would hold that now this writ application, after completing of the course by the petitioner in the M.I.T., has become infructuous. Thus, this Court, while disposing of 2 this writ application as having become infructuous, would leave all other questions raised herein open for being adjudicated in any other appropriate case.
