It is asserted that said college does not have requisite and necessary infrastructure to run the college, thus recognition could not have been afforded. 3. Additional counter affidavit dated 17.08.2026 has been filed by respondent No.2 wherein it is stated that a special meeting of A.P. State Allied and Healthcare Professions Council was held on 16.07.2026 with required quorum. It is further stated that after considering inspection reports, show- cause notice, explanation submitted by the institution besides relevant record, Council resolved to withdraw recognition granted to respondent No.3 and authorized the Secretary to issue consequential orders for withdrawal of recognition, therefore, present writ petition is rendered infructuous; proceedings may thus be closed. 4. Learned counsel for petitioner is unable to deny the same. 5. At this stage, learned counsel for respondent Nos.3 & 4 submits that liberty be afforded to respondent College to avail remedies as may be available to it in accordance with law in respect to withdrawal of temporary recognition and for seeking fresh recognition. 6.
