 W.P. (C) No.10741 of 2014

                                    JUDGMENT

This writ petition is filed seeking for a direction to the 2 nd

respondent to receive the land tax and issue possession

certificate and also to renew Ext.P8 licence for his

manufacturing unit without insisting for land tax receipt.

This Court on 09.04.2014, as per interim order, directed

the 4th respondent to process the application submitted by the

petitioner for renewing the licence of crushing unit without

insisting for basic tax receipt. On 31.05.2023, when the case

was posted for hearing, there was no representation for the

petitioner. On 02.06.2023 also, there was no representation for

the petitioner. Today also there is no representation for the

learned counsel for the petitioner. The issue highlighted in this

writ petition might have been redressed on the basis of the

interim order granted by this Court and by the efflux of time,

the petitioner might have lost interest in prosecuting the

matter.

Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
