The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents submits that it may not be necessary to consider the writ petition on merits since the 2nd petitioner, who is the wife of the 1st petitioner, has already been selected for award of LPG dealership in another station. If that be so, the 1st petitioner would not be eligible for applying for dealership, which is the subject matter of this writ petition, at all. In the above circumstances, recording the submission of the learned Standing Counsel this writ petition is closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to approach this Court again, if the 2nd petitioner does not get the LPG dealership in the other station.
