WPMP.No.20573 of 2006 seeking to set aside the order in W.P.No.13594, dated 20-7-2006 is allowed and the Writ Petition is restored to its file. W.P.No.13594 of 2002 The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the Writ petition is not required to be decided on merits in view of the subsequent developments. He submits that along with this Writ Petition, petitioner had filed an appeal on administrative side before the High Court against the order of punishment imposed by the third respondent-District Judge, Kadapa. The High Court had already allowed the petitioner’s appeal vide ROC.No.129/2000, CII/1, dated 29-10- 2002, and remitted the matter to the third respondent for fresh consideration. In pursuance of the orders of the High Court, the third respondent-District Judge, Kadapa, had also passed an order vide Dis.No.7750/05, dated 26-10-2005, accepting the findings of the enquiry officer and dropped all the charges framed against the petitioner. Since the charges framed against the petitioner have been dropped and the punishment given to him has been revoked, no grievance remains to be redressed in the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. -------------------------------------- (Bilal Nazki, J) 12th October, 2006 ------------------------------------- (Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J) LUR
