This appeal is directed against the orders passed by the learned Single Judge in O.P.No.46 of 1998 dated 27-1-2003. It so happens that the learned Single Judge had clubbed O.P.No.46 of 1998 with O.P.No.2618 of 2003 and by common order dated 27th January, 2003 had disposed of both the original petitions. In that had issued a direction to the second respondent to consider the case and pass appropriate orders. 2. The State had preferred two appeals against the common order passed by the learned Single Judge. The first appeal filed by the State against the order in O.P.No.2618 of 2003 is W.A.No.436 of 2004 and the second appeal is W.A.No.1024 of 2004 filed against the order in O.P.No.46 of 1998. 3. Writ Appeal No.436 of 2004 came to be disposed of by order dated 8th November, 2004 on the ground that the respondents have already complied with the orders and directions issued by this Court by W.A.No.1024 of 2004 -2- passing order dated 22-5-2004 and accordingly, the appeal came to be disposed of, having become unnecessary. 4. What has been said by the Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.436 of 2004, requires to be said in this writ appeal also. Since the respondent has complied with the orders and directions issued by the learned Single Judge by passing order dated 22-5-2004, nothing survives in this appeal for our consideration and decision. Therefore, this writ appeal is also disposed of, as having become unnecessary.. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (A.K.BASHEER) JUDGE MS
