Joshi, Chief Standing Counsel for the State/respondent nos. 1,2 & 3. Mr. D.S. Patni, Advocate for respondent nos. 4 & 5. Mr. Sandeep Kothari, Advocate holding brief of Mr. Shobhit Saharia, Advocate for respondent no.6. Dated: September 13, 2010 Coram: Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Barin Ghosh,C.J. (Oral) The writ petition was registered on the basis of a letter dated 22nd July, 2009 written by an unnamed person. In the letter, it was stated that the Main Boating Dockyard, adjoining the Boat House Club, Nainital, is in a dilapidated condition. It was stated that due to negligent attitude of the Officers, the beauty of the place is deteriorating day by day. This Court, accordingly, constituted a Committee. The said Committee has reported that the Main Boating Dockyard, adjoining the Boat House Club, Nainital, is not in a dilapidated condition. In order to ascertain the same, an Amicus was appointed by the Court who too has not reported that the Main Boating Dockyard, adjoining the Boat House Club, is in a dilapidated condition. In such view of the matter, the basic contention in the letter, resulting in registration of the present Public Interest Litigation, seems to us was not founded on facts. In course of investigations made by 2 the Committee appointed, as well as the Amicus, it transpired that in the vicinity of the place, mud and other materials have collected. Those have since been removed, as has been reported by the Nagar Palika. In such view of the matter, we feel that the purpose of the present petition has served. The same is closed as such. (V.K.
