W.A.No.1365 of 2008: This appeal is directed against the interim orders passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.(C) No.17749 of 2008 dated 17th June, 2008. 2. The interim order passed by the learned Judge reads as under: “Notice. The petitioner seeks orders similar to Exts.P5 and P6. I feel that for release of lorry and goods the petitioner should furnish adequate security. Therefore there would be an interim direction to the first respondent to release the sand and vehicle on the petitioner furnishing security to the satisfaction of the first respondent.” 3. During the pendency of this writ appeal, the District Collector, after accepting the bank guarantee furnished by the appellant/petitioner has released the vehicle in his favour. 4. In view of this development, in our opinion, as on today nothing survives in this writ appeal for our consideration and decision. W.A.No.1365 of 2008 & W.P.(C) No.17749 of 2008-K -2- Accordingly, the writ appeal is disposed of, as having become unnecessary. Liberty is reserved to the appellant/petitioner to take up all such contentions which are available to him including the contentions raised in this writ appeal before appropriate authorities. W.P.(C) No.17749 of 2008: In view of the orders passed in W.A.No.1365 of 2008, in our opinion, nothing requires to be considered in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (A.K.BASHEER) JUDGE MS
