This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in granting lease of land admeasuring Ac.25.57 cents in Sy.Nos.795, 801, 802, 803 and 804 of Madhavapuram, Pithapuram Mandal to respondent No.4 for an indefinite period from 01.07.2003, as illegal. At the hearing, Sri S. Subba Reddy, learned counsel for respondent No.4 submitted that the period of lease granted in favour of his client is only from 01.07.2003 to 30.06.2006. He furnished a copy of lease agreement dated 20.07.2003, wherein clause 2 reads as under: “The lease period is only for 3 fasli commencing from fasli 1413 to 1415 i.e., from 01.07.2003 to 30.06.2006. He should hand over the schedule mentioned properties to the lessor at the close of – 1415 i.e., on 30.06.2006 without any right over the properties.” In view of the fact that the lease period expired on 30.06.2006, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. The writ petition is therefore dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition as infructuous, WPMP.No.3064 of 2005 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 30.06.2008 ES
