M/S Radhakishan Jhunjhunwala Investments Private Ltd. & ANR. v. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation & ORS.

OD-2 ORDER SHEET WPO 138 of 2009

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Constitutional Writ Jurisdiction ORIGINAL SIDE M/S RADHAKISHAN JHUNJHUNWALA INVESTMENTS PRIVATE LTD. & ANR

Versus

THE KOLKATA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION & ORS.

BEFORE:

The Hon'ble JUSTICE RAVI KRISHAN KAPUR Date : 14th January, 2021.

Appearance:

Mr. Alak Kr. Ghosh, Adv.

Mr. Gopal Chandra Das, Adv.

The Court: None appears on behalf of the petitioner nor is any accommodation prayed for in the second call. This matter has been pending since 2009. Mr. Alak Kumar Ghosh, learned advocate appears on behalf of the Corporation and submits that the writ petition for all practical purposes has become infructuous and no useful purpose would be served in keeping the same alive. He further submits that the name of the petitioner is in the records of the Corporation and an Assessee number has also been provided. However, no requisite application with prescribed fees has been prayed

by the petitioner till date. The notice impugned in this proceeding has with the passage of time come to a logical conclusion and final order has already been passed.

In view of the submissions on behalf of the Corporation and in view of the deliberate absence of the petitioner WPO 138 of 2009 stands dismissed.

Interim orders, if any, stand vacated.
