We have perused the records of the Petition and annexures therein. We have also perused the records produced by the learned APP. The records disclosed that the Commissioner has recorded the statement of the Petitioner. He has not taken any decision in the matter. The decision seems to have been taken by the Assistant Commissioner, who has communicated the same to the Petitioner. This communication is not in consonance with the directions issued by us in the order dated 9.2.2016 in Criminal Writ Petition No.5022 of 2014. Megha 1/2

The statement is accepted.

In the light of above statement, grievance of the Petitioner no more survives. The Petition is accordingly disposed of. (ANUJA PRABHUDESSAI, J.) (RANJIT MORE, J.) Megha 2/2
