SRTC v. RTA[1]. A perusal of the record shows that the petitioner has prayed for quashing order dated 08.07.1994 passed by the State Transport Appellate Tribunal (for short ‘the Tribunal’) and also for issue of a direction to Regional Transport Authority, Guntur to issue pucca stage carriage permit in his favour so as to enable him to operate on Tenali Ratna Talkies to Sangam Dairy via Indira Gandhi Statue route. Although no one has appeared for the petitioner, we do not consider it proper to defer the adjudication of the writ petition because Shri K.Srinivasa Rao, learned counsel appearing for Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (for short ‘the Corporation’), on the basis of instructions given to him by the officers concerned made a statement that during the pendency of the petition, the petitioner surrendered the permit and he is no longer operating the service. In view of the statement made by Shri K.Srinivasa Rao, the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition as infructuous, WPMP Nos.1555 and 15830 of 1994 are disposed of as infructuous and interim order dated 18-7-1994 is vacated.
