O R D E R
Heard the learned counsel appearing on either side.
2. The challenge in the present writ petition is to the blanket order passed by the 2nd respondent on the complaint given by the 3rd respondent. The said challenge was made on the ground that a civil dispute between the parties in respect of the lands referred to in the impugned order was pending as on the date of passing of the said order.
3. Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel appearing on either side would submit that the civil suits filed by the parties have been withdrawn in view of the memo filed therein and that the suits have been dismissed as not pressed, since the plaintiffs did not wish to pursue the same. It is further to be noted that the petitioner and the 3rd respondent are brothers.
4. In view of the fact that the civil disputes between the parties have been settled, the impugned order passed by the 2nd respondent is no longer required to be continued and has consequently become inconsequential in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties.
5. In view of the same, the impugned order dated 21.07.2025 is set aside. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 05.10.2026 NCC:yes/no Index:yes/no Internet:yes/no Nsr To:
