Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, owing to efflux of time and subsequent developments, the reliefs as sought in the present petition no longer survive for consideration and the cause of action itself has ceased to exist. It is submitted that the contractual period, in relation to which the petitioner had sought renewal and continuation under the Ready to Eat Scheme, has already expired and the policy framework has also undergone changes. As such, no effective or meaningful adjudication can now be undertaken by this Court. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents fairly concurs with the submission advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner and submits that, in view of the intervening circumstances and lapse of time, nothing substantive survives for adjudication in the present writ petition. 4. Considering the aforesaid submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the fact that the reliefs claimed in the writ petition have been rendered incapable of being granted due to efflux of time and subsequent developments, this Court is of the opinion that the present writ petition has been rendered infructuous. 4 5. Accordingly, the present writ petition stands disposed of as having been rendered infructuous. 6. No order as to costs. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge Yogesh
