At the hearing, it is conceded by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the period of one year for which the permit was granted to respondent No.3 has already expired. Therefore, by efflux of time, the cause in this writ petition does not survive for adjudication. If the petitioner seeks to assert his right for renewal or fresh grant of fishing permits, he is entitled to approach the competent authority with appropriate application. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.756 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief and W.V.M.P.No.935 of 2009 are disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 03rd August, 2011 DR
