SHIVARAJ HIREMATH, ADVOCATE FOR R4; SRI. GODE NAGARAJ, ADVOCATE FOR C/R5 TO R18) --- THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, PRAYING TO I. ISSUE WRIT, ORDER OR DIRECTION IN THE NATURE OF CERTIORARI QUASHING THE NOTICE BEARING NO.Sam/Kam/Chunavane/47/2024/25, AT ANNEXURE-H ISSUED BY RESPONDENT NO.3 DATED 21-02-2025, AS ILLEGAL AND ARBITRARY, IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY. II. PASS SUCH OTHER ORDER/ ORDERS AS THIS COURT DEEMS FIT, IN THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CASE, INCLUDING AN ORDER AS TO THE COSTS, IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY. THIS WRIT PETITION COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:7113 WP No. 101667 of 2025 CORAM: THE HON'BLE MRS JUSTICE M.G.UMA ORAL ORDER (PER: THE HON'BLE MRS JUSTICE M.G.UMA) The petitioner has sought for issuance of writ in the nature of Certiorari to quash the notice dated 21.02.2025, issued by Respondent No.3, produced as per Annexure-H. As per Annexure-H, a meeting was called on 07.03.2025, which has already lapsed. Therefore, it is the contention of the respondents that the petition is rendered infructuous. I find considerable force in the contention taken by the learned counsel for the respondents. The date of the meeting fixed under the impugned Annexure-H has already lapsed. Hence, the petition becomes infructuous. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed as the same is rendered infructuous. In view of disposal of the main petition, I.A.1/2025 also stands disposed of.
