This writ petition has been filed complaining that the 2nd respondent has instructed that the petitioners shall not attend the meetings of the Board subsequent to 05/12/2008. As per the directions of this Court, the 2nd respondent has filed a report, where it is stated that he has not given any written or oral direction to the petitioners for not attending the Board from 05/12/2008 onwards. On the other hand, according to the 2nd respondent, the petitioners kept away from the meetings of the Board on their own volition. 2. Now in the light of the report obtained from the 2nd respondent, as the 2nd respondent has not issued any direction restraining the petitioners, there is no reason to issue directions as sought for in the writ petition. Therefore, the writ petition is closed recording the report of the 2nd respondent. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
