When the WPMP is called, the learned Standing Counsel for Sri Venkateswara University brought to the notice of this Court that the application of the petitioner for affiliation was considered by the University and by Proceedings dated 4.3.2004 rejected the affiliation for the academic year 2003-’04, that assailing the Proceedings dated 4.3.2004, the petitioner herein filed a writ petition being WP No.4464 of 2004 and this Court disposed of the same directing the University to reconsider the matter for grant of temporary affiliation. It is also submitted by the learned Standing Counsel that thereafter the University granted affiliation on 15.6.2004 challenging which another writ petition being WP No.10955 of 2004 was filed in which there was an interim order, which was subsequently vacated by this Court. In that view of the matter, nothing survives in this writ petition. Though the Interlocutory application is listed, for the above reasons, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. _________________ September 23, 2004. V.V.S.
