HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 8052 of 2002 Dated 11.07.2007 Between: V.Srinivas. …Petitioner and The Dy. Transport Commissioner and another. …Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 8052 2002 O R D E R: Petitioner purchased a vehicle manufactured by Escorts JCB Limited in the year 2002 and submitted an application before the first respondent for registration thereof. The latter insisted on production of clearance certificate from the Commercial Tax Department. The petitioner felt aggrieved by the same and filed this writ petition, seeking a direction to the respondents to register the vehicle, without insisting on clearance certificate from the Commercial Tax Department. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Transport. While admitting the writ petition on 25.04.2002, this Court ordered notice in W.P.M.P.No.10054 of 2002. The result is that the petitioner did not have the benefit of any interim order. Five years have elapsed and the vehicle cannot be expected to remain in the same condition. By all means, it might have been registered long ago. The cause of action does not survive and the writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 11.07.2007 JSU
