[Order of the Court was made by A.SELVAM, J.] This writ petition has been filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying to call for records relating to the order dated 16.12.2016 passed in Na.Ka.B3/3301/2016 by the fourth respondent with regard to auctioning of Seemaikaruvelam Trees in the place mentioned therein, by way of issuing a writ of certiorarified mandamus.

2.The learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 4 has represented to the effect that the fifth respondent is a successful bidder and he already removed all Seemakaruvelam Trees from the place mentioned in the petition. 3.Considering the representation made on the side of the respondents 1 to 4, this Court feels that the relief sought in the writ petition has become infructuous and therefore the present writ petition deserves to be dismissed.

4.In fine, this writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are dismissed.
