JUDGMENT In the light of certain subsequent developments, these two writ petitions have become infructuous, submits learned counsel for the respondents. 2. But Mr.Manilal, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioners have moved an objection against the confirmation of the sale held on 13.8.2007 by way of a revision before the Commissioner and that the same is therefore pending. The petitioner is at liberty to move the said Commissioner for appropriate orders. Subject to this, these writ petitions are closed. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy//
