Set aside the auction sale dated: 31/12/2024 bearing ARB/314/SN30/16/2024- 25 which is at Annexure A and Consequently restrained the 1st respondent from issuing sale - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:16924 WP No. 146 of 2025 certificate to the 2nd respondent form taking the physical possession. b. Grant such other and further relief's based on nature and circumstances of the above case in the interest of justice and equity. “ This matter came up for hearing. Learned counsel appearing for respondent No.1 submits that auction is cancelled as such, bidder has failed to pay the amount. When the relief is sought in the writ petition is to set aside the auction and not to issue the sale certificate when the respondents themselves have cancelled the same, nothing survives for consideration in this writ petition. Accordingly, writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. All pending I.As. in this petition shall stand closed. Sd/- (LALITHA KANNEGANTI) JUDGE RHS List No.: 1 Sl No.: 6
