The Hon’ble Court may be further pleased to issue any writ or order as the Hon’ble Court deem fit and proper; AND
AND FOR THIS ACT OF KINDNESS, the petitioner shall as in duty bound ever pray.”
4. Office note indicates that notice on admission issued to the Opposite Party No.3 returned unserved with a report “No such addressee”, hence returned to sender. Further, AD not returned from the Opposite Party No.1.
5. However, it is revealed from the record that vide order dated 31.03.2009, an interim order was passed in Misc. Case No.3623 of 2009 to the effect that till disposal of the writ petition or till allotment of shop at the new site in accordance with the Scheme framed by the Opposite Parties, whichever is earlier, the Petitioner shall not be evicted from the premises occupied by him. Accordingly, the Misc. Case was disposed of. That apart, the matter was last listed on 06.05.2009. Thereafter, the matter has been listed today after about 17 years.
6. Hence, this Court is of the view that in view of interim order, as detailed above, the prayer made in the writ petition must have become infructuous by efflux of time.
7. However, as the learned Counsel for the Petitioner is absent on call, the writ petition stands dismissed for non- prosecution.
