J U D G M E N T

The petitioner had challenged the illegal blasting of rocks by respondents 7 and 8 and the inaction of the respondents 2 to 6 to take action against them. The writ petition itself was filed in the year 2011 and no steps were taken despite notice having been ordered.

In such circumstance, nothing survives in the writ petition and the writ petition would stand dismissed. Sd/- K. VINOD CHANDRAN, JUDGE SB // true copy // P.A to Judge.
