Court No. - 29 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 47490 of 2011 Petitioner :- Zanullah And An.R Respondent :- State of U.P. and Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Arvind Kumar,Vijay Kumar Rai Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Arvind Kumar,Ashish Kumar Srivastava,B.P. Pandey,Dhananjay Awasthi,Vijay Kumar Rai Hon'ble Munishwar Nath Bhandari,Acting Chief Justice Hon'ble Anil Kumar Ojha,J. Sri Vijay Kumar Rai, learned counsel for the petitioners has sent an adjournment slip without specifying the ground for adjournment. Mrs. Subhash Rathi, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State and Sri Ashish Kumar Srivastava, learned counsel for Gorakhpur Development Authority are present. The writ petition could have been adjourned but finding that during the pendency of the writ petition not only award was passed but possession of land was also taken. In none of the connected petitions award has been challenged rather what has been challenged is the order dated 2.5.2011. Despite award dated 28.6.2011 and possession of land, no challenge to it has been made and in the light of the aforesaid nothing would survive in the petition as much water has flown after the impugned order. Accordingly, we do not find any purpose to adjourn the writ petition rather in the facts and circumstances given in the connected petitions, the writ petition is dismissed. However, the petitioners would be at liberty to seek revival of the writ petition by making an application, if any cause survives. Order Date :- 8.9.2021 Kuldeep (Anil Kumar Ojha, J.) (Munishwar Nath Bhandari, A.C.J.)
