As the land is governed by the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976, they submitted applications seeking allotment/regularization as per G.O.Ms.Nos.455 and 456 dated 29.07.2002 before first respondent, which were allegedly refused and therefore, they filed instant writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents to receive their (petitioners’) applications for regularization. First respondent, namely, the Special Officer and Competent Authority, Urban Land Ceiling, Hyderabad, filed a counter-affidavit stating that the petitioners have not filed any applications for regularization under G.O.Ms.No.455 dated 29.07.2002. Be that as it is, Ms.C.Pavani, counsel representing Smt.A.Anasuya, the learned counsel for the petitioners, submits that the applications filed by the petitioners for regularization were received by first respondent on 16.04.2005 while the writ petition is pending. Therefore, no further orders are necessary and the writ petition has become infructuous. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. First respondent may consider the applications of the petitioners in accordance with G.O.Ms.Nos.455 and 456 dated 29.07.2002. No costs. ___________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 24th July, 2007 ghn
