HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR
----- For the Petitioners: Mr. Abhay Prakash For Respondent Nos.2-4: Mr. Rohan Kashyap
-----
06/03.03.2025 Mr. Rohan Kashyap, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent Nos. 2 to 4, refers to paragraph 4 of the counter affidavit dated 13.07.2017 filed on behalf of the respondent No.3, which reads as under:
‘’4. That the answering respondent submits that the prayer made in the writ petition has become infructuous as a result of office order bearing No. CNL/P/G 65/17 dated 22.06.2017 issued under the signature of the Principal-respondent No.3. For, this order has revoked the official order whereby the petitioner No.2 was suspended from the college with effect from 05.05.2017. As a result of this office order, the primary impugned order under the writ petition has become infructuous.’’
2. Mr. Abhay Prakash, learned counsel for the petitioners, submits that in fact, there was no video footage of the incident on the basis of which the petitioner No.2 (the daughter of the petitioner No.1) was suspended from the college. The petitioners have however apprehension that the respondents may re-agitate the matter in future in order to harass them.
3. In response to this, learned counsel for the respondent Nos. 2 to 4 submits that since the video footage itself has been destroyed and the suspension of the petitioner No.2 from the college has already been revoked, the said apprehension of the petitioners is unfounded. Otherwise also, the
petitioner No.2 has already passed out from the college in the year 2019 itself, pursuant to which, the character certificate has also been issued to her.
4. Considering the said submission of learned counsel for the respondent Nos. 2 to 4, there is no need to further proceed with the matter.
5. The present writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
6. Consequently, I.A. No. 427/2018 also stands disposed of.
