THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR WRIT APPEAL No.589 of 2002 August 01, 2011 Between: Bommu Surendra Kumar, S/o.Madhusudhana Rao ... Appellant And The Regional Passport Officer, Chennai And others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR WRIT APPEAL No.589 of 2002 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.V.S.Rao) The appellant and the third respondent are husband and wife. It appears that the wife instituted a criminal case under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 in criminal court. She also approached the first respondent to impound the passport of the appellant purportedly under Section 10(3) of the Passports Act, 1967, in vain. Complaining the inaction, the wife filed W.P. No.1957 of 2002. This Court disposed of the writ petition at the admission stage directing the first respondent to take appropriate action in the matter in the light of the decision in Ibiza Industries Ltd v Union of India[1]. Being aggrieved by the said order, the present appeal is filed by the husband. The counsel for the appellant brought to our notice that the writ appeal was already disposed of by this Court on 19.2.2003 remanding the matter to the learned Single Judge for fresh disposal after giving opportunity to the petitioner. It is also brought to our notice that after the remand, the writ petition was dismissed for non-prosecution on 02.6.2010. In view of the factual background as above, nothing survives in the writ appeal. The writ appeal, accordingly, stands disposed of. ________________ (V.V.S.
