By the said proceedings, the Lorries bearing No.ABB-6804 and ATT-8589 which had been hired to the Singareni Collieries by the petitioners were blacklisted for a period of one year. No interim orders were passed in the matter by this Court. A counter aﬃdavit is ﬁled by the respondents contesting the claim of the petitioners on merits. In view of the fact that the proceedings in the writ petition eﬀected blacklisting of the petitioners’ lorries for a period of one year, which has expired long ago, it is manifest that no cause of action survives in this writ petition. The same is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ P.V.SANJAY KUMAR, J. 15th November, 2008. VGSR
