This case was adjourned with a direction to the learned Government pleader to ascertain the correctness of the submissions made that the appeal has already been heard. On instructions, today, the learned Government pleader informs that though hearing was held on 11/6/06, orders were not passed by the then officer. His successor again heard the parties on 15/10/2007 and passed orders on 16/10/2007. A copy of the said order has been made available to the counsel for the writ petitioner today. In view of this, I think that there is no need for entertaining this writ petition. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
