So, it is clear that the Government has rejected his proposal and so no useful purpose would be served in directing to respondents to consider the request of the petitioner, as respondents categorically stated that they have no intention to grant lease to the petitioner. (3) Hence, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. No costs. _________________ C.Y.
