THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO Writ Petition No.8271 of 1999 ORDER: The application of the fourth respondent for grant of state carriage permit as town service permit from Pithapuram Mandal Revenue Office to Divili (via) Lakshminarayanapuram, Vijayawada and Virava was rejected by second respondent on 11.03.1997. Fourth respondent was, however, successful before State Transport Appellate Tribunal (STAT), Hyderabad. By an order dated 24.02.1998, STAT allowed the appeal and directed second respondent to issue stage carriage permit as town service permit on same road. Aggrieved by same, Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) filed instant writ petition. Learned counsel for APSRTC submits that fourth respondent subsequently submitted stage carriage permit for cancellation, which was accordingly done. Therefore, nothing survives in writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly, dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) August 24, 2009 Bvv
