No.1756 of 2008 ------------------------------------------ Dated, this the 1st day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT H.L.Dattu, C.J. This writ appeal is directed against the orders passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(C) No.23653 of 2004 dated 11th July, 2008. (2) In the writ petition, the primary relief that is sought for by the petitioner is to direct the first respondent Grama Panchayat to allot house number to his building and assess tax. (3) The learned counsel appearing for the first respondent Grama Panchayat has filed an affidavit before us and in that it is stated that the first respondent has already assigned a new number to the petitioner's building. (4) In view of this development, in our opinion, as of now, nothing survives in this writ appeal for our consideration and decision. Therefore, the writ appeal is disposed of as having become unnecessary. However, we make it clear that whatever taxes that are due to the Grama Panchayat, by way of building tax, etc, shall be paid by the appellant. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (A.K.BASHEER) JUDGE vns
