BY CHIEF SECRETARY SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 23193 OF 2007 J ===================== Dated this the 13th day of December, 2007 J U D G M E N T The writ petition has been filed praying for implementing Exts. P1 and P2 orders by cutting and removing the banyan tree. I notice that on 10/8/07, when this case came up for orders before this court, it was submitted on behalf of the respondents that they have taken opinion from the Social Forestry Authorities and that it was decided to prune the overhanging branches of the trees made mention of in Exts.P1 and P2. Subsequently, when this case came up for orders on 1/11/2007, it was submitted that the process of pruning the trees mentioned above had already commenced. Today, the learned Government pleader submits that pruning has since been completed. If that be so, the purpose of Exts. P1 and P2 has been achieved. In view of this, I am not inclined to pass any further orders in this writ petition. However, it will be open to the petitioners to approach the authorities, if an occasion arises for further orders in the matter. Writ petition is closed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
