A Nityananthi Nadar for the Petitioner Mr.Roop M Vasudeo for the Respondent Nos.1 and 2 CORAM : P B MAJMUDAR & R M SAVANT, JJ. DATE : 08th June 2009 P.C. 1. The following prayer has been made in this Petition. a Writ of Certiorari or a Writ in the nature of Certiorari or any other appropriate Writ, Order or direction, calling for the records and proceedings leading to the decision taken/order passed by Respondent No.1 as contained in the letter dated 22nd March, 2001 addressed by Respondent No.2 to the Petitioner (Exhibit A hereto) to the effect that it was decided not to send entry of any swimmer for FINA Long Distance Swimming Events to be held in 2001 and after going into the 2 legality and validity of the said decisions/order, the same be quashed and/or set aside. 2. Ad-interim relief was also granted in favour of the Petitioner as back as in 2001 in terms of prayer clause (c)(ii) which is as under :- That Respondent No.1 be ordered and directed to forthwith process and submit the Petitioner s application form for the 9th FINA World Swimming Championship Fukuoka 2001. 3. Now considering the fact that the above Petition pertains to a Swimming Event of the year 2001, in our view, by passage of time this petition has become infructuous as the swimming event in respect of which relief is sought for is of the year 2001. Even the ad- interim relief was granted in this petition as back as in the year 2001. Considering the said fact, the Petition is disposed of as it is now not required to be entertained. The learned counsel for the Petitioner however wants some time to find out whether the Petition has become infructuous or not. In our view there is no need to grant 3 time to the learned counsel for the Petitioner to find out whether the petition has become infructuous or not as the cause of action in this petition no longer survives. In view of this, the Petition is disposed of as no relief is required to be granted with a liberty to the Petitioner to revive the above Petition in case of difficulty. Rule is discharged with no order as to costs. [R.M.SAVANT, J] [P.B.MAJMUDAR, J]
