One of the main prayers in the writ petition is for a direction for implementation of the Liquified Petroleum Gas (Regulation of Use in Motor Vehicles) Order 2001. That order has been struck down by this court and the matter is now pending before this court in W.A.No.581/2009 and connected cases. Therefore, this writ petition has practically become infructuous since the very same issue is subject matter of the writ appeal mentioned above. The writ petition is accordingly closed.
