JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was made by S.M.Subramaniam J.) The present writ appeal has been instituted to set aside the order dated 09.12.2021 passed in W.P.No.10730 of 2019.

2. The writ petitioner is the appellant. The writ petition has been instituted challenging the show cause notice dated 02.12.2021. The Writ Court dismissed the writ petition mainly on the ground that no writ against the show-cause notice is maintainable, by granting liberty to the appellant to submit his reply.

3. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board, Vellore Housing Division would submit that during the pendency of the present litigation, a second show-cause notice was issued on 04.03.2022, and subsequently, the appellant was evicted from the Housing Board premises on 13.05.2022. Since the appellant had been evicted from the premises, no further adjudication needs to be undertaken in respect of the present Intra-Court Appeal. Consequently, the writ appeal stands dismissed. The connected miscellaneous petitions, if any, are closed. No costs. (S.M.SUBRAMANIAM J.)(C.SARAVANAN J.) 01-09-2025 gd Index:Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Internet:Yes
