Case of the petitioners is that the objectionable portions of the compound wall have already been demolished and therefore Exts.P2,P3 and P5 are no longer sustainable. It is submitted before me by both sides that subsequent to the institution of the writ petition, the objectionable portions of the compound wall have already been demolished and removed to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Panchayat. In view of the above subsequent event, the Writ Petition will stand closed without going into the merit of the grounds raised. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv.
