The petitioner has approached this Court with a singular plea that the 2nd respondent - Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO)

be directed to adjudicate the stamp duty applicable to Ext.P4

Power of Attorney.

2. I notice that, through an interim order dated 25.05.2022,

the petitioner was directed to appear before the RDO, so as to

enable the said Authority to adjudicate the Power of Attorney.

3.Today, when this matter was called, Shri.R.Krishnakumar,

learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that his client had

already done so and that the Power of Attorney has been

adjudicated.

In the afore circumstances, I close this writ petition without

any further orders; however, clarifying that no other issue has

been considered in this judgment.
