He approached the first respondent for grant of permit under Rule 177 of the Andhra Pradesh Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 (for short ‘the Rules’). By an endorsement, the first respondent directed to issue permit to Tandoor only. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. It is the contention of the petitioner that as per Rule 177 of the Rules a permit should be granted to an Auto rickshaw to ply as a contract carriage to be valid for an area lying within a radius of 60 Kms from the principal place of business. Be that as it is, this Court passed interim orders on 09.01.2004 directing the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner. It is brought to the notice of this Court, pursuant thereto, the petitioner was granted a permit in accordance with Rule 177 of the Rules. In that view of the matter, no cause of action survives in the writ petition. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 16.12.2005 vs
