The matter relates to cancellation of an excise licence issued to respondent no.5 for the financial year which is already over. In that view of the matter, this writ petition has become infructuous and there is no need for this court to go into the controversy which may still remain to be decided by the authorities under the Excise Act particularly, in relation to claim of respondent no.5 for refund of his security money. Now when the writ petition is being disposed of as infructuous, the claim of respondent no.5 shall be considered by the authority concerned without being influenced by this 2 order or any order passed by this court in any manner.
