Petitioner approaches this court mainly for a direction to the effect that he should be allowed to continue as Managing Director of the Kerala State Warehousing Corporation till orders pursuant to Ext.P8 and Ext.P10 are actually served on him. It is not in dispute on facts that the writ petition has been rendered infructuous since orders have been served on the petitioner and those orders are under challenge in WPC No.21244/09. Therefore, without prejudice to the liberty to take all available contentions in W.P.C.No.21244/09, this writ petition is closed. (KURIAN JOSEPH) JUDGE (C.T. RAVIKUMAR) JUDGE spc W.P.(C) NO. 2
