The learned Government Pleader submits that Ext.P11 has been withdrawn on 28.03.2025. It is further submitted that there are two mistakes in Ext.P10 order in as much as there is a direction to issue a regular permit, whereas the direction ought to have been to issue a temporary permit. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the same is an obvious mistake and the petitioner will take steps to get the order corrected immediately. 4. Taking into consideration the above submission, this Writ Petition is closed as no further orders are necessary. On the petitioner producing a corrected copy of Ext.P10 before the 2nd respondent, steps shall be taken to implement the order, unless the said order is modified or stayed in a manner known to law. sd/- GOPINATH P.
