JUSTICE M.I.ARUN - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:32884 WP No. 4227 of 2021 ORAL ORDER 1. The writ petition is filed, challenging the notices issued by respondent no.2 calling upon the petitioners to vacate their shops. 2. The learned counsel for respondent No.2 upon instructions submits that the shops admittedly belong to respondent No.2 - the Mysuru Mahanagara Palike. However, the notices have been issued erroneously and hence, subsequently, the same have been withdrawn and appropriate proceedings under the Karnataka Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1974 have been initiated to have the petitioners evicted from the property. 3. It is seen that the writ petition pertains to issuance of impugned notices and nothing else. As the same has been withdrawn, the writ petition is hereby dismissed as having become infructuous.
