WP(C) 718/2005 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. MADAN B. LOKUR The petitioner was running a book stall on licence in the Kokrajhar Railway Stat ion. The agreement came to an end in December, 2004. Well before the agreement c ame to an end, the petitioner made a representation dated 27/9/2004 for renewing the licence for a further period from 24/12/2004 to 23/12/2009. By the impugned letter dated 12/1/2005, the licence of the petit ioner was not renewed and he was asked to vacate the book stall immediately. Feeling aggrieved, the petitioner preferred the present writ pet ition for quashing the letter dated 12/1/2005 and for a direction permitting him to run his business of book stall in the Kokrajhar Railway Station upto 23/12/2 009. By an interim order dated 2/2/2005, the communication declining to renew the agreement was stayed by this Court. The interim stay has continued till today. In other words, the interim stay has continued well beyond 23/12/200 9, the date upto which the petitioner sought renewal of the licence. Since the prayer of the petitioner has effectively been granted by the interim order and the period for which the petitioner sought a direction to continue to run the business of a book stall in the Kokrajhar Railway Station has come to an end, nothing further survives in the writ petition. The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. Interim order dated 2/2/2005 stands vacated.
