J U D G M E N T

[Delivered by the Hon'ble CHIEF JUSTICE] Heard the learned counsel for the appellant.

2. The dispute arises out of an order passed by the learned Single Judge in respect of affiliation for the year 2018 - 2019 by the appellant - University to the respondent - Institute. The order passed by the learned Single Judge appears to have been complied with and not only that, the respondent - Institution is stated to have been granted the affiliation thereafter also. Thus, the period, for which the dispute had arisen, has already come to an end and even otherwise, the dispute no longer survives with the grant of affiliation later on.

The writ appeal has accordingly become infructuous and it is consigned to the records. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (CS-I) // True Copy // / /2020 Sub Assistant Registrar(CS) krk / sts Note :
