By these representations, the petitioner was essentially seeking for issuance of E-katha in respect of the layout which he claims to have formed. 3. Sri.M.S. Devaraju, learned counsel appearing for Kuduru Gram Panchayat places on record an endorsement dated 13.06.2023, in which it is stated that the Gram Panchayat had taken a decision not to issue katha and to maintain status quo till the enquiry that has been ordered in respect of the approval of plan in favour of the petitioner was concluded. 4. In the light of this endorsement, it is obvious that the prayer in this Writ Petition would not survive for consideration. Writ Petition is, therefore, disposed of as having become unnecessary. 5. It is, however, open to the petitioner to challenge the endorsement dated 13.06.2023, a copy of which is - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC:8294 WP No. 28539 of 2024 handed over to the learned counsel for the petitioner, if so advised. 6.
