None appears on behalf of the petitioner today also. Heard Mr. Satish Kumar Sinha, learned Assistant Counsel to AAG-4. This writ petition has been preferred for a direction to respondent no.3 to accept tax calculated on the basis of actual seating capacity of the vehicle. It appears to us from a perusal of the materials on record, and consideration of the submissions of learned counsel for the respondents that the writ petition, on account of efflux of time, has become infructuous. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as having become infructuous. BTiwary/ (S. K. Katriar, J.) ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.) 2
