This appeal is filed against the interim order dated 29.3.2007. Appellant was granted interim order at the time of admission and he got an order of renewal accordingly. The order of relief in the writ appeal was for continuing the licence for the year 2007-08, and therefore, appeal has become infructuous. This order will not prevent the petitioner to apply for renewal of licence for subsequent years and no further orders are necessary in the writ appeal and petitioner can approach the learned Single judge for an expeditious disposal of the writ petition. With the above observations this appeal is disposed of. J.B.KOSHY, JUDGE K.HEMA, JUDGE prp J.B.KOSHY & K.HEMA, JJ. -------------------------------------------------------- M.F.A.NO.
