Rule was issued on 28.02.1997 and by way of ad-interim relief it was ordered that the parties shall maintain the status-quo, qua the land in question and the said order has continued during the pendency of the present petition. The learned Assistant Government Pleader Shri L.R.Poojari produces a copy of the letter addressed to him by the Competent Authority intimating that the possession of the land which had been declared surplus had not been taken under sections 10(5) and 10(6) of the Act. Since the possession has not been taken the proceedings relating to the order made by the Competent Authority abate in view of the provision of section 4 of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act,1999 and the present petition does not survive. The petition is therefore accordingly disposed of. Rule discharged. No order as to costs. --- m.m.bhatt
