THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 16136 OF 2008 U -------------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd July, 2008 JUDGMENT When the matter came up today, both the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Special Government Pleader for Taxes, submitted that pursuant to the order passed by this Court, order has been passed withdrawing the Garnishee Order, subject to the result of the Writ Appeal No.1023/08. I feel that in the light of this development, it may not be necessary to consider the questions raised in the Writ Petition for the present, as they have become unnecessary. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is closed. It is also unnecessary for me to state that the petitioner will be allowed to operate the Account in view of the fact that the order itself has been withdrawn. I leave open the contentions of the petitioner. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. // True Copy// PS to Judge WPC 2
