JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI Present: None for the petitioners. Mr. Suvir Sehgal, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. * * * * RANJAN GOGOI, J (ORAL) The challenge in the writ petition is against two orders dated 13.03.1987 passed by the Divisional Canal Officer and 09.06.1987 passed by the appellate authority by which the writ petitioners have been directed to restore a water course allegedly destroyed by them. The writ petition was filed on 21.07.1987. In the affidavit of the jurisdictional Divisional Canal Officer dated 09.09.1987 it is stated in paragraph 18 that the water course was restored with Police help on 13.07.1987. The said position is not disputed. A period of nearly 25 years has elapsed in the meantime. In the above circumstances, the Court does not find any live issue for adjudication in the writ petition. Writ petition, therefore, is 2 disposed of as having become infructuous. (RANJAN GOGOI) 03.12.2010 JUDGE Amodh
