JUDGMENT
The learned counsel for the plaintiff filed a memo to withdraw the suit in view of the subsequent developments in the 1st Defendant-Society and that the prayer has become infructuous as of now.
2. It is seen that the relief sought by the plaintiff pertains to some meetings held on 12.02.2020 and 15.10.2020 and the list issued on 30.10.2020. Since the subject matter has become infructuous due to lack of time, the matter is permitted to be withdrawn.
3. Accordingly, the suit in C.S.No.389 of 2020 is dismissed as withdrawn. No costs.
