The present writ petition has been filed for a direction to respondentno.1 to pay compensation with interest to the petitioner being the widow of late Nageshwar Ram, who is said to have died on 21.01.1996 while discharging his duty. Learned counsel for the petitioner has fairly submitted that during the pendency of the petition the amount of compensation has already been paid to the petitioner. He has further fairly submitted that there is no legal provision in the statute for payment of interest. In that view of the matter, this court finds that no useful purpose will be served by keeping this matter pending as the same has become infructuous. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn. Rahman/ (Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
