[Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble The CHIEF JUSTICE] By efflux of time, the writ petition has become infructuous. Because, the fourth respondent has already opened the college and operating it. If any dispute remains over the management for which the litigation is pending, it would not be affected by the

outcome of this writ petition, rather it would be decided on its own merits. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
