This Court, while admitting the writ petition, passed interim order on 21.7.2003 directing the respondents to permit the vehicles of the petitioner to transport through NH-5 in the State of Andhra Pradesh without insisting for payment of security deposit if the transport related to food grains was covered by proper documents. In view of the interim order passed on 21.7.2003, the matter has become infructuous. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) _______________________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J) June 06, 2011 YS
