PLEADER SRI.BASANT BALAJI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 25/07/2008 ALONG WITH OP NO. 25921 OF 1999, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(c).No. 2169 OF 2008 & O.P.NO.25921 OF 1999 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 25th day of July, 2008 JUDGMENT Senior Counsel Sri.Nandakumara Menon has placed before me a copy of the resolution adopted by the Council of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation on 13/6/2008 pursuant to this court's interim order dated 18-2-2008. It is seen from the above resolution that it is now resolved that proceedings for acquisition will be initiated for acquiring the 34 cents of land which is the subject matter of these writ petitions for the purpose of establishing parking facilities. It is seen that in both these cases, the proceedings then initiated for the purpose of High Tech Industrial Centre is under challenge. In view of the resolution dated 13-6-2008, copy of which is placed before me, it is apparent that the Corporation will have to initiate proceedings afresh since the purpose of acquisition differs. Both these writ petitions have thus become infructuous and would stand dismissed on that basis. The merits of the grounds raised are not decided. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv.
