A memo dated 4.7.2025 signed by learned counsel for petitioners has been filed, which reads as under: - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:24045 WP No. 5317 of 2025 " The petitioner in this writ petition called in question the order dated 17.02.2025 in which the 3rd respondent Additional Registrar appointed as a special officer under section 31 of the Co-operative Societies Act. This Hon'ble Court pleased to grant interim order dated 21.02.2025. In the meanwhile elections to the managing committee to the 4th respondent Milk Union had already taken place dated 25.06.2025 and elected body is duly constituted. Therefore, the order dated Annexure-S dated 17.02.2025 is spent on its own as such writ petition would not survive for consideration on merits. Hence, the writ petition may be disposed of as it became infructuous. 3. Accepting the said memo and submission of learned counsel for petitioners, the petition is dismissed as infructuous.
