As common question of law and identical facts are involved in both the w rit petitions, they are taken up together for hearing and final disposal. WP(C) No 2270/2009 has been filed by the petitioner Tingkhang Anchalik P anchayat, Dibrugarh, challenging the NIT dated 29.4.2009 (Annexure- B) issued b y the Dibrugarh Zilla Parishad for settling Rajgarh Weekly Market, Rajgarh Bus S tand and Tingkhang Weekly Market for the year, 2009-10 on the ground that a Full Bench of this Court has already decided the isuue in WA No 314/2008 other conne cted Writ Appeals that the Assam Panchayat Raj Act does not vest any power and a uthority with the Zilla Parishad to issue NIT for settlement of market, hats, e tc. and the Anchalik Panchayat is the sole authority to issue NIT for settlement of market and hat, etc although the Zilla Parishad has the power and authority for confirmation of the recommendation made by the Anchalik Panchayat. There is no requirement of further decision as the issue is no longer res integra in view of the aforesaid decision of the Full Bench of this Court. The grievance of the writ petitioner in WP(C) No 4373/2010 is that due t o pendency of WP(C) No 2270/2009, NIT for settlement of Rajgarh Weekly Market, Rajgarh Bus Stand and Tingkhang Weekly Market for the year, 2010-11, has not bee n issued by the Tingkhang Anchalik Panchayat, Dibrugarh. Ms H Phukan, learned GA, Assam, has fairly submitted that as the issue h as already been decided by the Full Bench of this Court, both the writ petitions may be disposed of in terms of the judgment rendered by the Full Bench. However , the issue raised in WP(C) No 2270/2009 pertains to issue of NIT for settlement of market, hats, etc. for the year 2009 and 2010, has lost its relevancy as on today. Accepting the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner in WP (C) No 2270/2009 as well as submissions made by the learned GA, Assam, that the Zilla Parishad does not have any power and authority to call for NIT for settlem ent of market, hat, etc., WP(C) No 2270/2009 is closed as infructuous. In view of closer of WP(C) No 2270/2009 as infructuous, there would be n o hurdle whatsorever for the Tingkhang Anchalik Panchayat, Dibrugarh to issue NI T for settlement of market, hat, etc for the year, 2010-11 and, as such, the res pondent Nos 3, 4, 5 and 6 who are represented by Mr Buragohain, are directed to issue necessary NIT for the aforesaid markets for the year 2010 - 2011 within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. With the aforesaid observations and directions, WP(C) No 4373/2010 stand s disposed of.
