THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE UJJAL BHUYAN
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.BHASKAR REDDY
WRIT APPEAL No.845 of 2007
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan)
Heard Ms. Pramada, learned Government Pleader for Forests
for the appellant and Mr. V.Rohith, learned counsel representing
Mr. V.Ravi Kiran Rao, learned counsel for the respondents.
2. This writ appeal by the State is directed against order dated 07.03.2007 passed by the learned Single Judge dismissing the writ petition filed by the State (appellant).
3. The Writ Petition was filed by the State assailing the order of the II Additional District Judge (FTC), Adilabad dated 31.08.2004 in C.M.A.No.6 of 2002 directing release of the seized vehicle of the respondents.
4. When the appeal was filed, the appellate Court passed an order on 12.10.2007 on the interlocutory application filed by the appellant State. By the aforesaid order this Court directed release of the vehicle in question on furnishing of bank guarantee 2 HCJ & CVBRJ W.A.No.845 of 2007 of Rs.2,50,000.00 by respondent No.1 to the satisfaction of Forest Range Officer, Mancherial, Adilabad District.
5. We have been informed that on furnishing of such bank guarantee, the vehicle was released to the respondents.
6. That being the position, we feel that there is hardly any issue left for adjudication, that too at this distant point of time. More so, the bank guarantee furnished may have already spent its utility. Therefore, we are not inclined to continue with the appeal proceedings.
7. Writ Appeal is accordingly disposed of. However, there shall be no order as to costs.
8. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, in this Writ Appeal, shall stand closed.
