These Writ Petitions have been filed by private colleges conducting Engineering, MBA and MCA courses questioning fixation of fees for the academic years 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 by respondent No.3-Committee. Sri A.Sanjeev Kumar, learned Counsel, submitted that Sri S.Sri Ram, who is the Counsel on record, has given up his vakalat. No other Counsel has represented the petitioners. I have heard the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Higher Education representing respondent No.1 and Sri C.Sudesh Anand, learned Standing Counsel for A.P.State Council of Higher Education representing respondent No.2. Sri C.Sudesh Anand, learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.2, submitted that having regard to the fact that the academic years, for which the fee was fixed, had expired in the year 2009 itself, the cause in the Writ Petitions does not survive for consideration. On a scrutiny of the material on record, this Court is satisfied that with the expiry of the academic years 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09, the cause, on which these Writ Petitions are founded, ceased to exist. The learned Standing Counsel further submitted that on the decision of respondent No.3- Committee revising the fees for the subsequent academic years, separate Writ Petitions have been filed and that the same are pending. By holding that the dispute raised in these Writ Petitions does not survive for adjudication, the petitioners are given liberty to pursue the Writ Petitions, if any filed by them questioning the revision of fees for the subsequent academic years, and dismissal of these Writ Petitions would not affect their interests in this regard. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petitions are disposed of as infructuous. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petitions, WPMP.No.18756 of 2006 in WP.No.15059 of 2006, WPMP.No.19163 of 2006 in WP.No.15385 of 2006, WPMP.No.18755 of 2006 in WP.No.15058 of 2006 and WPMP.No.19164 of 2006 in WP.No.15386 of 2006, filed by the petitioners for interim relief, are disposed of as infructuous.
