Since the academic year, for which the Writ Petition is filed, is well past, the issue raised by the petitioners does not survive for adjudication. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous, without adjudicating on the issue raised by the petitioners on merits. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition as infructuous, WPMP.No.20762 of 2009 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is also dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 12.07.2011 ES
