The third respondent has neither engaged the services of an advocate nor conducted the case as a party in person. 3. The Official Memorandum dated 14.05.2015 is called into question in this Writ Petition on several grounds as setout in the Memorandum of Writ Petition. - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:546 WP No. 23905 of 2015 4. Counsel for the respective parties urged several contentions. Heard the arguments and perused the Writ papers with care. 5. The Official Memorandum is furnished along with the Writ Petition and the same is marked as Annexure-F. It has been stated in the Official Memorandum that there is an interim order passed by this Court on 06.10.2010 in W.P.No.31928/2010 and there was a violation of the interim order. There was also a direction to strictly adhere to the interim order till the disposal of the Writ Petition. The E-Court status of W.P.No.31928/2010 reflects that the said Writ Petition was disposed of on 5th day of January 2018. Hence, I find no grounds to quash the Official Memorandum. In view of disposal of W.P.No.31928/2010, nothing survives for consideration in the present Writ Petition at this juncture. 6. Resultantly, the Writ Petition is disposed of.
