Petitioner(s)/Appellant(s) Through :- Mr. Manik Bhardwaj, Advocate Vs U.T. of J&K and Ors. .....Respondent(s) Through :- Ms. Priyanka Bhat, Advocate vice Mrs. Monika Kohli, Sr. AAG for R- 1 and 2 Mr. Vipan Gandotra, Advocate for R- 3 & 4 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE WASIM SADIQ NARGAL, JUDGE ORDER 11.03.2026 It has been brought to the notice of this Court by learned counsel for respondent Nos. 3 and 4 that the grievance projected by the petitioners stands redressed inasmuch as the competent authority has already granted approval for the construction of a drain, the absence whereof had resulted in leakage and other grievances alleged by the petitioners in the prayer clause of the instant petition. Learned counsel for respondent Nos. 3 and 4, Mr. Vipan Gandotra, on the basis of instructions, submits at the Bar that with the approval for construction of the drainage, the grievance of the petitioners no longer survives and, therefore, no cause remains for further adjudication of the matter. In view of the statement made by learned counsel for respondent Nos. 3 & 4, in terms of the instructions received by him, the instant petition has been rendered infructuous as the grievance of the petitioner stands redressed. Accordingly, the petition is disposed of in light of the aforesaid statement. However, dismissal of the instant writ petition shall not come in the way of the petitioners from filing a fresh petition if fresh cause of action accrues. (WASIM SADIQ NARGAL) JUDGE JAMMU 11.03.2026 Mihul Sr. No. 43
