The petitioner again stated that he was not satisfied with the investigation conducted in this case and did not agree with cancellation report. However, the cancellation report was admitted by the Court and he was directed to avail his remedy by way of filing Protest Petition.

In these peculiar circumstances, the present petition has been rendered infructuous and is accordingly disposed of as such.
