Special Civil Application No. 6499 of 1990 MR KN RAVAL for Petitioner No. 1 .......... for Respondent No. 1 -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE JAYANT PATEL Date of decision: 15/02/2002 ORAL JUDGEMENT Mr.D.D.Vyas states that his clients have taken back the papers from him since last 5 years. However, nobody appears on his behalf. The fact remains that these matters are notified number of times and nobody has entered appearance on behalf of Adityana Nagar Panchayat I am not inclined to adjourn the matters on this ground. There is another reason that in all these matters the subject matters are the order passed by the State Government fixing lumpsum contribution. On account of no interim relief being granted by this court except making note of making imports of the materials etc, the orders for fixing lumpsum contribution have lived life. By afflux of time that period is also over. Not only that the octroi is now abolished. Under these circumstances I am of the view that no useful purpose would be served in deciding the questions involved in these matters since all these matters have become infructuous by afflux of time. Under these circumstances all these matters are disposed of as having become infructuous. Rule in each petition is discharged with no order as to costs. Since SCA No.5165/90 is disposed of as having become infructuous Civil Application No.1783/91 is rejected. Interim relief granted earlier stands vacated. Liberty to apply in case of difficulty is granted. 15.2.2002 (JAYANT PATEL,J)
