HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No.704 of 2008 (PIL) Rishi Prasad Sati & another …Petitioners Versus State of Uttarakhand & others ...Respondents Dated : December 1st 2010 Coram: Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. (Oral) Mr. Vipul Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioners, Mr. Vinay Kumar, learned Standing Counsel for the State/respondent nos.1 to 4, Mr. B.P. Nautiyal, learned counsel for respondent no.5 and Mr. Sudhir Kumar, learned counsel for respondent no.6. 2. The purpose of this writ petition (PIL) has come to an end. It is the contention of the petitioners that the respondent no.6 is not entitled to be in possession of any part of Auli Ski Zone. It is also the contention of the petitioners that the purported title to be in possession as projected by the respondent no.6, has no sanctity of law. That appears to be the purpose of the present writ petition (PIL) instituted in the year 2008. It appears that the State Government has initiated steps to remove respondent no.6 from Auli Ski area. Steps thus taken were assailed in a writ petition successfully by 2 respondent no.6. The State then preferred an appeal and succeeded in the appeal. The respondent no.6, as submitted by learned counsel for the said respondent, has taken the matter up to the Hon’ble Supreme Court. In those circumstances, it appears to us that the purpose of this Public Interest Litigation has served. The same is, accordingly, disposed of. (V.K.Bist, J.) (Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 01.12.2010 Arti
