It is clear from the pleadings that the period of contract with the first respondent for the installation of the hoarding has expired. Therefore, practically the writ petition has been rendered infructuous. It is submitted that during the period the petitioner enjoyed the benefit of the interim order no rent is paid. It will be open to the first respondent to realise the rent in accordance with law from the petitioner. Subject to the above, the writ petition is dismissed. (KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE) ahg.
