J U D G M E N T

The matter relates to the issue of licence.

2.

The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent corporation submitted that as directed by this Court in the interim order dated 09.01.2008, the respondent corporation has considered the petitioner's application for licence; and the same has been rejected; and the petitioner has challenged the same before the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions; and the tribunal had directed the corporation to issue licence. As the matter has become infructuous, the writ petition is closed without examining the merits. However, it shall be open to the petitioner to approach this Court if the petitioner has any subsisting grievance.
