PETITIONER AND 1 The District Collector, (Panchaya Raj Wing) Krishna District. Machilipatnam. 2 The Divisional Panchayat Officer, Nuzvid, Krishna District. 3 The Secretary, Gram Panchayat Manikonda, Ungutur Mandal, Krishna District. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:NONE APPEARED Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 & 2: GP FOR PANCHAYAT RAJ & RURAL DEV. The Court made the following : ORDER: On 25.06.2008, WVMP.No.1234 of 2008 was taken up for hearing. As the learned counsel for the petitioner was not present, the said application along with the writ petition was adjourned for today. Today, at the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. From the scope of the relief claimed in the writ petition and the averments contained in the counter-affidavit, it is evident that the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration, because in this writ petition, the petitioner questioned auction notice, dated 30.11.2005 wherein the fishing rights were proposed to be auctioned on 06.12.2005. In paragraph 5 of the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.3, it is mentioned that in view of the interim order granted by this Court in the present writ petition and the elections held subsequently, the proposed auction was not conducted and that a fresh auction notice was given on 15.02.2008 in pursuance of which auction was conducted on 26.02.2008. Since these facts are not contraverted, the cause in the writ petition does not continue to survive. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition as infructuous, interim order, dated 05.12.2005 is vacated, WPMP.No.23339 of 2005 is dismissed and WVMP.No.1234 of 2005 is disposed of as infructuous.
