It is the case of the petitioner-firm that there is no law prohibiting it from lifting its own goods and in compulsory engaging any registered union for lifting its goods. 3. However, that is not the question sought to be resolved in the writ petition. The prayer in the writ petition is to provide police protection for lifting the said goods. As it is stated that after filing the writ petition the said goods have been lifted by the seventh respondent, the prayer in the writ petition has become infructuous. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous keeping it open to the petitioner to take appropriate steps to resolve the larger question as and when it crops up. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J April 16, 2007 DSK
