None appears on behalf of respondents. From perusal of materials available on record , it appears that the petitioner has questioned the validity of notice dated 1.3.2005 (Annexure-1) whereby applications were invited from the interested persons for settlement of Thawey Ramnaumi Mela Area and Thawey Fair for a period of 11 months for the financial year 2005-2006. Apparently, the period in question for which settlement was to be made has already expired. In the back drop of the case, the writ petition has become infructuous. Accordingly, it is dismissed.
