Pursuant to the orders of this Court dated on 19.12.2018, Mr.C.Chandrababu, Block Development Officer, Kundrathur Panchayat Union @ Kundrathur, Kancheepuram District is present before this Court today.
2.The Block Development Officer reiterated that the land in question is being used as a cremation ground and as a burial ground. At this Juncture, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that the writ petition itself was filed by a power holder and who died on 21.12.2009 itself. Thus, the cause aroused for filing of the present writ petition became vanished.
3. In view of the factual submissions made by the learned Additional Government Pleader that the land in question is being used as burial ground and cremation ground and the facts submitted by the writ petitioner that the writ petitioner, who is a power holder is passed away, no further adjudication needs to be entertained in respect of the grounds raised in the present writ petition.
4. Accordingly, the writ petition stands closed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are also closed.
