The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ernakulam has reported to this court that the suo motu case which was registered as M.C.13/05 against the petitioners has since been disposed of on 1.8.2005. Under these circumstances, according to me, the Writ Petition itself has become infructuous. However since the petitioners are absent, the Writ Petition will stand dismissed only for default. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE After I delivered the judgment, Mr.C.R.Sivakumar, learned counsel for the petitioners appeared and placed before me a copy of the order in Crl.R.P.No.412/06. It is seen from the above order that the penalty imposed under the impugned order is reduced by Rs.20,000/-, i.e., Rs.25,000/- reduced to Rs.5,000/-. Learned counsel submitted that the petitioners are ready and willing to pay the amount as reduced by this court. Accordingly, I permit the petitioners to pay the amount as reduced by this court as per the W.P.C.No.35610/05 - 2 - order in Crl.R.P.No.412/06 within one month from today. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition will stand disposed of. 27.7.2007 PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE.
