Shetty ...Respondent Ms Geeta Shastri, A.G.P. for Appellants. None for Respondent. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND J.H. BHATIA JJ. DATE : 2ND JULY 2007. -2- P.C. :- 1. This appeal is directed against the order dated 9th June 2000 passed by the learned single Judge directing the authorities to consider the application for performance licence submitted by the petitioner therein. It is an admitted position that the performance licence is granted for a period of one year on each occasion. Therefore, the period to which the application which was directed to be decided is obviously over. The appeal therefore has become infructuous. However, we find that the Rules have been subsequently amended by the State Government. Obviously any application submitted by the respondent for licence for subsequent years will have to be processed under the amended Rules and therefore, anything contained in the judgment which is impugned in the appeal will not come in the way of the authorities in considering the application submitted by the respondent for performance licence for subsequent years in accordance with the amended Rules. Appeal is disposed off. . Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Associate / Private Secretary as true copy. . Certified copy expedited.
