JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was delivered by R.SURESH KUMAR,J.) It is brought to our notice by the learned counsel appearing for both sides that the contesting respondent Mr.S.P.Senthil Nathan is no more, therefore, the proceedings already initiated against him become abated and to that extent, orders have been passed by the Tahsildar o n 23.03.2021. When that being so, nothing would survive according to the learned counsel appearing for both sides in this appeal to persuade further.

2.Recording the same, this writ appeal is dismissed as having become infructuous. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
