Vijaya Kumar & another. … Petitioners And The Kurnool Municipal Corporation, Kurnool & another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri G. Venkat Reddy Counsel for respondent No.1: Sri B. Hanumantha Rao Counsel for respondent No.2: Sri P. Raghavender Reddy This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24979 of 2008 ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside order in Roc.No.9612/2008-A1, dated 06.11.2008, of respondent No.1, whereby it has directed the petitioners to vacate shop Nos.14 and 15 in N.R. Nagar Shopping Complex, Kurnool, during the subsistence of the lease period. At the hearing, it has come out that the lease period of three years commencing from 01.04.2008 in respect of the shops held by the petitioners as lessees has expired. Therefore, the cause, on which the Writ Petition is filed, ceases to exist. The learned counsel for the petitioner, however, submitted that the petitioners have applied to respondent No.1 for extension of lease. Sri P. Raghavender Reddy, learned counsel for respondent No.2, submitted that the shops in question were allotted to his client. Inasmuch as the limited grievance of the petitioners in this Writ Petition was that during the subsistence of lease period, respondent No.1 has directed them to vacate the premises under lease, with the expiry of the lease period, the cause in the Writ Petition does not survive for adjudication. The petitioners and respondent No.2 can work out their remedies in accordance with law in respect of the shops in question. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of as infructuous. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition as infructuous, WPMP.Nos.32599 of 2008 and 30262 of 2009 and WVMP.No.230 of 2009 are disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 27.07.2011 ES
