                                                        JUDGMENT

(By D.Krishnakumar,J.,) This Writ Appeal has been filed, challenging the order of the learned Single

Judge dated 06.05.2022 made in W.P.No.12036 of 2022, by which the Writ Petition

filed by the Writ Petitioner/1st Respondent herein, was disposed of with a direction to

consider his application dated 29.01.2022 within two weeks.

2. When the matter is taken up for hearing, it is represented by the learned

counsel for the Bank/appellants herein that pursuant to the direction of the learned

Single Judge, the Bank has already considered the representation of the Writ Petitioner

and passed the final order and the said submission of the learned counsel for the Bank

has not been refuted by the learned counsel appearing for the Writ Petitioner/R1 herein.

It is further represented by the learned counsel for the Bank that since a legal issue is

involved in this case with regard to the maintainability of the Writ Petition, the Bank has

chosen to file the present Writ Appeal.

3. Admittedly, a final order has been passed in this case, consequent to the

order of the learned Single Judge. As such, we are of the view that nothing survives for

further adjudication in this case at the appellate stage. Hence, this Writ Appeal is

dismissed by recording the submission of the learned counsel for the Bank that already

quietus has been given to the issue by passing a final order on the application of the Writ

Petitioner as sought in the Writ Petition. In respect of the merits of the matter regarding

maintainability of the Writ Petition, the issue is left open and the same would be decided

in an appropriate case. No costs.
