TO JUDGE K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR , J. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Writ Petition (C) No.4444 of 2005-D -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judgment The petitioners have approached this Court, challenging the recovery of the amount due under Ext.P7. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the entire amount due to the 1 st respondent under Ext.P7 has already been paid. In support of that submission, he relied on paragraph 3 of the counter affidavit filed by the 1 st respondent, which reads as follows : “It is submitted that the petitioner had remitted the amount of penal damages and interest levied at Rs.1,01,368/- as directed by this Hon'ble Court vide oder dated 08.02.2005.” In view of the above position, the Writ Petition has become infructuous, provided there is no other amount due under Ext.P7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is closed. But, the closure of the Writ Petition will not affect the rights, if any of the petitioners, to recover the amounts they have paid, from respondents 2 and 3, as according to the petitioners, they were discharging the liability of the said respondents. 16.11.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
