This Writ Appeal has been directed against the order dated

07.01.2010 made in W.P.No.20372 of 2009 by a learned Single Judge of

this Court.

2. When the matter was called today, learned Counsel for the

appellant fairly submitted before us that the appellant department has

prepared a Citizen Charter from 2018 enabling the applicants seeking

information under the Rights to Information Act to receive the information

as per law and as such, from 2018 onwards, they have been providing

information. Therefore, the challenge made by the appellant against the

impugned order need not be gone into.

3. Placing on record the statement made by the learned Counsel

for the appellant, the appeal is dismissed as infructuous as nothing survives

for further adjudication. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous

Petition is closed.
