Petitioner is called absent. However, I am of the categoric view that nothing survives in the prayer of the petitioner, which is for a direction to the first respondent to take action against the 4th and 5th respondents, who are private respondents, upon whom service is complete and whose names are printed in the cause list, to remove the bricks and sand loaded near Sree Veeran Temple situated at Mullur Village, Anandapuram Post, GingeeTaluk Villupuram District pursuant to his representation dated 15.09.2014.
2. It is incoceivable that this cause of action will survive after 8 years of institution of the Writ Petition in 2014. Recording this, this Writ Petition is closed. No costs.
