Learned counsel appearing for the State fairly concurs with the aforesaid submission advanced on behalf of the petitioner and submits that nothing further survives for consideration in the present matter. 3 Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the
submissions so made, this Court is of the opinion that since the grievance of the petitioner already stands redressed and no substantive issue survives for adjudication, continuation of the present proceedings would serve no useful purpose. 4 Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed as having been rendered infructuous. No order as to costs.
