P. SATYANARAYANA The Court made the following : ORDER: At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in conducting public auction of leasehold rights of the land admeasuring Acs.3.48 cents in R.S.Nos.202/2 and 194/2 of Kattunga Village, Atreyapuram Mandal, East Godavari District, as illegal. Heard Sri P.Satyanarayana, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. Under the impugned auction notice, the leasehold rights of the above-mentioned land were auctioned for a period of three (3) years, which expired in 2007. In view of the interim order granted by this Court, finalisation of the auction was stayed. Since the period, for which, the auction was held, has admittedly expired, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner filed O.S.No.87 of 2007 in the Court of Principal Senior Civil Judge, Kothapeta, East Godavari District for permanent injunction and that temporary injunction has been granted in favour of the petitioner. This writ petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous with liberty to the petitioner to pursue the said pending suit. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition as infructuous, WPMP.Nos.15970 of 2004, 8216 of 2007 and 6924 of 2008 and WVMP.No.377 of 2008 are disposed of as infructuous.
