Scheduled Commodities (Regulation of Distribution by Card System) Control Order, 1973. It is the case of the petitioner, that though the earlier order of cancellation was suspended by this Court in WPMP.No.12205 of 1997 in Writ Petition No. 10014 of 1997, the respondents have issued the impugned notification, inviting fresh applications. However, it is stated now, that the earlier Writ Petition, is already dismissed by this Court by order dated 11-03-2003. In that view of the matter, no further direction can be issued in this Writ Petition at this stage. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits, and the same is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ------------------------------------ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY DATED: 18-11-2005. Msnr.
