JUDGMENT

The petitioner has approached this Court alleging that the respondent panchayat has not issued quarrying licence to him.

2. Today when the matter came up for hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that subsequent to the filing of the writ petition, the respondents have granted licence as prayed for to the petitioner. Therefore, the learned counsel submitted that as there is no surviving cause of action, the writ petition can be closed. Recording the said submission, the writ petition is closed without going into the merits.
