Mr. Praveen Gupta, Advocate, for the respondents. **** AJAY KUMAR MITTAL, J. (ORAL) The petitioner has approached this Court for quashing of order dated 15.12.2009 (Annexure P-4) passed by respondent No.3 whereby a sum of Rs.1,06,287.50 has been ordered to be recovered from the petitioner. The primary challenge in the present petition is that the impugned order (Annexure P-4) whereby recovery of Rs.1,06,287/50 from the petitioner has been ordered is illegal as it was passed without affording an opportunity of hearing to him. Learned counsel for the respondents has produced a letter addressed to him by respondent No.3, wherein it has been stated that the aforesaid amount of Rs.1,06,287.50 shall be recovered from the petitioner only CWP No.380 of 2010 --2-- after affording full opportunity of defence/reply to him. A copy of the letter received by the learned counsel for the respondents is taken on record. In this back-drop, learned counsel for the petitioner states that no grievance survives at this stage and the petitioner, in the event of any such notice being served upon him by the respondents, shall submit a reply to the same. In view of the above development, the impugned order Annexures P-4 and subsequent notice P-5 have become inoperative and the writ petition has been rendered infructuous. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of as having become infructuous. March 12, 2010 (AJAY KUMAR MITTAL) atulsethi JUDGE
