ORDER
The petitioner is a member of Dravidar Kazhagam and he gave an application to the respondent police for conducting a public meeting in Thandarampet on 18.03.2018 to commemorate the Death Anniversary of Annai Maniammaiyar. However, it is seen that the petitioner had arranged for an entertainment programme titled "Mandirama Thanthirama" as part of the public meeting in the temple city of Tiruvannamalai and therefore, the Sub Inspector of Police refused permission to install mike set on 18.03.2018, challenging which the present Writ Petition has been filed. This Writ Petition has become infructuous, in as much as the permission was sought for conducting the meeting on 18.03.2018 and now we are in the April of 2018.
2. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is willing to submit a fresh application to conduct the public meeting to commemorate the Death Anniversary of Annai Maniammaiyar without any programmes like "Mandirama Thanthirama", etc.
3.Recording the statement of the learned counsel for the petitioner, liberty is given to the petitioner to submit such an application and the respondents are directed to pass necessary orders on the same in accordance with law expeditiously, subject to general conditions.
