Learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, based on the written instructions, submits that the rent payable from 01-03-1994 to 30-09-2004 amounting to Rs.12,72,772/- was already paid vide proceedings of the District Educational Officer, Hyderabad District, in Rc.No.240/E 3/2004, dated 19-02-2005. As the rent was paid from 01-03-1994 to 30-09-2004, I am of the opinion that nothing survives in the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to take appropriate steps for payment of rents from 01-10-2004, if not already paid. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 15-07-2008 Prv ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{ANURADHA}
