On 12-5-2010, when this case came up for hearing in the vacation court, no one appeared for the petitioner. Even today, there is no representation for the petitioner. However, Mr. Srinarayana, learned counsel representing Sri M.Ravindranath Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents, submitted that even before the first posting of the Writ Petition, the respondents have started supply of petroleum products to the petitioner’s outlet and, therefore, the cause in the Writ Petition does not survive for consideration. Ordinarily, the Writ Petition should have been dismissed for non-prosecution. But, in view of the submission made by the learned counsel representing the respondents, the Writ Petition is disposed of as infructuous. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:01-6-2010 MNR
