Thus, no further adjudication needs to be undertaken in respect of the grounds raised in the present writ petition. If at all any other grievance exists for the writ petitioner, it is left open to him to redress the same in the manner known to law.

3. With the above observations, the writ petition stands closed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is also closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CCC) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar Svn
