O R D E R
The writ petitioner has filed this writ petition to issue a Writ of Prohibition prohibiting the respondents from insisting the petitioner and his customers either to obtain transport permits to get mentioning of the final places of destination in the bills issued by the Public Works Department to transport the processed filtered sand from the stockyard of the petitioner comprised in S.F.Nos.183, 184, 185 to an extent of 2.39, 2.13, 1.32 Punjai Hectares respectively situated at Ravanapuram Village, Udumalpet Taluk, Coimbatore District, to the place of the petitioner's purchasers destination.
2. It is seen that the petitioner has filed this writ petition on the ground that he was given permission as a Dealer of sand, by the Respondents which firm was registered with Sales Tax Department of Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax vide Tax Payer Identification No.(TIN) 33822282972 and he was purchasing sand from the Public Works Department and transporting the same with valid bills from various branches to all the customers in various Districts. The Respondent is insisting the petitioner and his customers either to obtain permits to get mentioning of the final places of destination in the bill issued by the Public Works Department. Since the Government has canceled the private permits, and the Government itself is selling the sand to all the public, this petition has become infructuous and nothing survives for adjudication in this writ petition.
3. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS VII) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar msm
