The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Arunangshu Chakraborty Ms. Geniya Mukherjee Ms. Zeba Rashid ... ... for the petitioner Mr. S. N. Mookherjee, AG Mr. Samrat Sen, AAAG Mr. Nilotpal Chatterjee ... ... for the State Ms. Rini Bhattacharya ... ... for the respondent nos.4 & 5 The writ petition was filed by the petitioner raising a grievance against the instructions for compulsorily wearing the mask and imposition of fine for violation. Learned Advocate General has pointed out that with the improvement of Covid situation and with the significant decrease of Covid-19 cases and various relaxation, the issue does not survive. This aspect is not disputed by counsel for the petitioner.

Hence, we are of the opinion that nothing survives in this petition which is accordingly dismissed as infructuous.
