On 14.10.2004, this Court directed the respondents to release the essential commodities to the petitioner for distribution to the card holders, if the petitioner is holding a valid authorization and the same is subsisting as on that date. When the matter had come up for hearing on 28.5.2005, learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents stated that the authorization of the petitioner has already been cancelled on 31.8.2004 and therefore, the question of releasing the essential commodities does not arise. Now, the learned Government Pleader on the basis of para-wise remarks submitted that the temporary authorization of the petitioner held against the fair price shop of Kothur village, KVB Puram Mandal, Chittoor District was cancelled by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Chittoor on 25.8.2004. In view of the above, nothing survives in the writ petition for adjudication as of now and the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. Writ petition is dismissed accordingly. No costs. __________ 18-12-2006 rkk
