Learned Assistant Government Pleader agreed with this position. In view of the same, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the writ petition has become infructuous. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. However, the petitioner is left free to avail its remedies open to it in law. No costs. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date: 08-08-2007 KLP [1] 2006(2) ALD 120
