Nos. 2—5 as well as Ms. G. Hazarika, learned Standing Counsel, Revenue Department appearing for the respondent No. 1. Pursuant to the order of this Court dated 20.07.2026, whereby a final opportunity was granted to the learned Standing Counsel, BTC to provide the instruction as to why the petitioners’ application seeking settlement of land, which has already been recommended by the Land Advisory Committee has not been considered. Today, when the matter is called, Ms. Choudhury, the learned Standing Counsel, BTC places the instruction dated 11.08.2026, received from the Secretary, BTC, Kokrajhar to the effect that the application of the petitioners seeking settlement of the land has already been settled in their favour. Mr. Ahmed, the learned counsel for the petitioners submits that in view of the aforesaid settlement order, nothing survives for adjudication in the present writ petition. In view of the aforesaid endorsement made by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the present writ petition stands closed, on being infructuous. The copy of the instruction dated 11.08.2026, produced before this Court by Ms. Choudhury, the learned Standing Counsel, BTC be kept in the record.
